Message: [QUOTE="Ward, post: 1664166, member: 1958"] Agreed, people like to compare him to Parsons but Parsons stayed all 4 years at Florida and took him all 4 of those years to develop better ball skills. Lydon is a real nice player who is going to be a great player for us but right now I can't see any NBA team using a 1st rounder on him. Now ask me again in a year or two and my answer will probably 100% change but right now he is probably a year or two away from realistically being a first rounder. To sum it up, what is his NBA level skill? Unless you are going to be an all star which obviously are very few and far in between you need an NBA level attribute. Ennis was an NBA level game manager, Grant had NBA level athleticism and rim protecting abilities, McCullough had NBA level athleticism for a guy his size, Lydon doesn't have one yet. I love Lydon, think he is going to help us win a ton of games but I don't see it being a realistic threat that he'll leave after this year. [/QUOTE]
