Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 2064723, member: 405"] I think Lydon has underperformed this year. I think he has learned a lot lately about becoming a true "go to" guy. I think if he did come back, he could blow up. I think he still is only scratching the surface of his talent. Some kids (not ours, apparently, but at other schools), they come back as sophomores and juniors to still improve their draft stock. Didn't Buddy Hield, the PG out of Oklahoma, come back after his sophomore year when he shot 38% from 3 and averaged 16 points a game? He sure did, and he even came back for his junior AND his senior year and he wound up going 6th in the draft. Number 5 pick Kris Dunn out of Providence was a junior, and Bryce Johnson, the big man out of North Carolina was a senior and he only went a couple picks after Malachi. So who says a player can't come back for his junior or even senior year and not improve his draft stock, and not get picked in the first round? [/QUOTE]
