Message: [QUOTE="orangefan13, post: 1986732, member: 906"] Great post. Agree, Lydon strikes me as a weird situation. I hope you are right about another year. Its sad that he may never get to play next to a good defensive center, because if he was next to Keita or Fab, or senior Rak, he would be an absolute beast. Sucks how these things work out for us sometimes. imo With a good defensive center next to Lydon it wouldn't even matter who was on the other side of the zone. With Dajuan stepping it up offensively, Lydon's best offensive position has just moved from center to the four. I wonder if its more about lydon's armstrength then it is about weight when it comes to rebounding and finishing buckets 8 feet and in. Tipping rebounds is better suited for Center then forward. Still curious if Thompson will switch to the four as the season goes along. I see a little otto porter cj fair in him, and his bounce is good enough to play pf instead of center. Lydon can man the five. Gillon is having trouble with the most basic things. 1.He runs the offense from way to far back beyond the three point line. 2.He has trouble throwing entry passes against taller guards unlike howard. 3.He isn't getting in the lane and drawing a double before finding the open man (slow down some in the lane) 4.He has trouble making good things out of the pic and role. 5. imo my worse fear is he is one of those pg's that needs four scorers around him, and has to outscore opponents offensively. Well what do you do? Dajuan starts, you could always bring lydon off the bench instead of roberson, but what if dajuan gets a quick foul inside? By comparison Howard only needs three offensively, and hes better defensively as well, just something to ponder. Not a bad thing, but the patience for Gillon and Roberson being on the floor together may be dwindling. I hope Roberson is good enough to play momentum changing 6th man with his rebounding. White moves from sg to sf and immediately doubles his average. Great move. Glad to see Battle coming out of his shell. [/QUOTE]
