maybe.
 I agree white and battle both need to play, however basketball is about pressuring your opponent and defense as well. lydon at the 3 does that better than battle and white by miles.

stats aside just his presence at the three is his biggest advantage defensively rebounding on both ends and getting bigs in foul trouble. All stats aside (and he had 7 boards tonight). I am for cutting his minutes at the three to maybe 12 per half though.
We held monmouth to 21 second half points tonight and won by 25.

Good defensive teams will be draped on lydon pf or sf reguardless getting a breath on his release is up to him regardless of who is on him. He can thow the entry pass effortlessly against any sf and team in the country. Would like to see him dead on middle court top of the three point line though, his three can bounce in from there.

Battle, white, howard gillon and soon lydon(it will come around) can all hit a big bucket for us so why give up your best defensive lineup? Justso your offensive lineup can roll the dice and risk shooting 8% higher and try to outscore them. That isn't JB's way either. Lydon's points at this point in the season mean little imo. remember how cooney started his last 2 seasons?
