Our offensive talent just isn't good enough to run the offense JB wants to run, and I think we'll see that numerous times against better competition. Individually, we have some nice players but collectively they don't seem to play well off of each other. I think we desperately need guards that can penetrate and win 1-on-1 battles. Hopefully, Tyus gets there, but Frank isn't doing much of that and Gillon is too undersized.

I've been extremely disappointed with Lydon, but that's based on heightened expectations coming into the season, which, as we're seeing, probably wasn't fair. He's a good player, but can't create, can't get to the rim off the dribble and score and is struggling finishing inside. You're spot on that he needs another year, but his stock will continue to plummet the longer he's at SU. I don't know if he's an NBA player or not. He doesn't seem athletic enough to play SF, and he's not big enough to play the 4, even as a stretch four. I guess as a bench guy, he can make it, but I'm not sure the ceiling is there. He should dominate as a college kid if he stick around and get the interior game going.

Will Chukwu play meaningful minutes here going forward? At 7'2", you expect defensive presence, but he's offered nothing. He doesn't look like much of a shot block and that was what we needed him for. I'm sure he'll get another shot, but wow, his game is disappointing.

Robey...just in his own head now. When he's played, he can't avoid picking up fouls jumping for rebounds. He outjumps the opponent, but still get called. Then he disappears. Tough to blame JB for benching him.
