Guards are unquestionably the most important component of a successful team. Frank is not a PG and doesnt have the shot to play the 2. He simply is not an ACC guard.
John is too small to be effective as a defensive guard in our zone. Offensively he is mediocre. Again he isn't an ACC caliber starting guard.
White is a small forward offensively but is in no way a guard.
Our best guard and only true ACC caliber player at the position is Battle. 
At this point i would go with the following lineup even though it has on the surface 2 guys playing out of position.
1: Battle. He is our most talented player. If JB can turn Gib into a 1 he can do the same with Battle.
2: White. He shoots lights out and as a result create space for Battle to use his athleticism to penetrate. 
On D you have size at the top of the zone which is the most important element. I realize white lacks foot speed but with him and Battle we do have exceptional size up top.
3: Lydon. Great shooter tons of length. Second best talent on the team. Solid on the wing in the zone.
4: Roby. Play D crash the boards on every O and D possession.
5: TT. Can score and will only improve with increases minutes.
Subs: JG at the 2 not point. 
DC at 5.
Go with those 7 add Chubaka if he returns and live with it. FH sits and tranfers. 
Find a 2 in the off season to replace white. 
The key is Battle to PG as this season is lost so play for the future and he is our only hope at PG this and next year.
