That was literally the worst lineup of the Boeheim era.  We had numerous players out there with non-complimentary skill sets.  In addition to not being able to dribble, White had averaged something like .03 assist per game in his career -- so he wasn't going to help out handling or passing the ball.  Playing Lydon at 3 in tandem with the handling-challenged White was a similar recipe for disaster.  Lydon could shoot like a wing, but that was the only skill he had that suited that position.  And those two situations were exacerbated by Howard not being ready to assume full time PG responsibilities at that stage of his career.

It might have worked if we had  dominant lead guard like Sherman, Pearl, or Flynn who could handle the ball handling responsibilities entirely on their own, but that's not what we had.

And to make matters even more entertaining, there were posters [one in particular] who insisted that Battle would be the starting point guard, leading that awful lineup.  That team would have been lucky to get the ball over half court, in retrospect.
