Message: [QUOTE="Digger, post: 1951212, member: 4075"] Wow. I can't disagree with this any more. Yes. Lydon is going to play [I]a lot[/I] of minutes at C this year. But thankfully, not because he has to, but because Boeheim knows playing that way (for stretches) is to our incredible benefit. The 2016-17 Tyler Lydon won't be playing C because he "has to," it will be because he is an athletic and strong 6'9 225 rim protector. He can more than hold his own there defensively for ~10-15 minutes a game. And when he's at C on defense...good god. There are a very few teams in the country that can handle us offensively. DC and PC will play roles this year, but Lydon being an effective anchor in the zone is an enormous positive. Its just another weapon for Boeheim to unleash on the opposition. It is in no way a concern [/QUOTE]
