lydon = pittsnogle

[CorduroyG]

Lydon always reminded me of someone but i couldnt figure out who. But i think its pittsnogle. Yes no maybe so?

 

[Cusefan0307]

Lydon is wayy more athletic and higher upside defensively, shooting wise comparable though IMO.

I think Lydon is more athletic - and hopefully a better dresser.

Kevin was a redder shade of neck on a whiter shade of trash

No. Although they are both tall white guys who shoot the three.

Lydon is having a remarkably unique season as a frosh. Take his current stats: 2.5+ 3PA/game, 1.25+ BPG, 5+ TRB/game. Since 1994, he is one of just 18 freshman to post that line. Some of the P5 guys are/were NBA talent (Durant, Donte Greene, Eddie Griffin, Michael Beasley) and soon-to-be NBA talent (Brandon Ingram, Henry Ellenson). Lydon takes the second fewest FG attempts and scores the second fewest per game of those 18, but his percentages are quite good (3rd in FG% and 1st in 3P%).

That doesn't mean that Lydon is going be Kevin Durant, but what he does, and does well enough to play 30+ minutes is rare for a freshman in the NCAA D1 game.

Lydon can move better and is better with the ball.

And not nearly as fugly.

I truly believe he is Keith Van Horn with a slightly better haircut.

Maybe he can develop into that, but Van Horn was a much better ball handler. Something I think Lydon should/will work on.

Did we lose to Dayton already? This thread has off-season written all over it.

Give him a call and find out.

I think he's a Chandler Parsons clone. And not just because of skin tone and whispy facial hair

 

[Cheriehoop]

He reminds me of a Steve Novak(Marquette) type player.


Still in the NBA after 10 years.

Shavlik Randolph.

Tyler "Durant" Lydon

 

[CorduroyG]

their pick and pop games are similar. similar strokes too.

Went to a Mavs game a few weeks back and Parsons lit up the T-wolves. I one day hope Lydon gets to be in Parson's realm. Good comparison, but Parsons has a much better handle and is (obviously) much stronger.

 

[Townie72]

Reminds me of Maryland's Jake Layman.

 

[CuseTroop]

No...

Because I love Lydon.

I hate Pittsnogle. Completely ruined my bracket. I check back every once in a while to make sure he is still selling used cars.

Maybe because they resemble each other but Novak may be the best shooter of all time.

I hear ya - but In college he was a string bean, labeled a shooter.

Kevin Panopscotch (according to Francesa)

Cheese and Rice that's a great post!

You are comparing a freshman to an NBA player. You are right though, Novak is an exceptional 3 point shooter who very rarely played inside the arc even in college at his height.

Tyler played more minutes this season than Novak did at Marquette till his senior year. Novak averaged 12 points over his 4 years at Marquette and really only played the perimeter. He obviously must have been Creaned. Tyler has a more balanced game.

Looking forward to how Lydon's game progresses when he's playing his real position and isn't beaten up playing center each game. Tyler's already a better rebounder and instead of a pure 3 point specialist like Novak, Tyler appears to be much more capable of being a more versatile threat in college.

Someone needs to post the link of Francesca trying to say Pitsnogle's name.

I was in on this until Steph Curry went all Steph Curry. But Novak can freaking shoot the rock.
