I never said we didn't need to rely on Gillon.  I said we are better off if we didn't need to rely on Gillon's POINTS.

Gillon's ball handling, setting up/running the offense, distributing, and scoring just enough to keep the defense honest.  That is my take on a perfect contribution from Gillon.

As for Lydon, most of his scoring came on moves in the paint (not outside shooting), after he was appropriately fed the ball, where he was 2-5.  My comment was that we were better off if Lydon shot MORE not less so I don't know why you would think I thought it was good he only had 6 shots.  In addition Lydon was our leading rebounder with 9 boards, 2x as many as the next leading rebounder in a game where we lost the rebounding margin by 8.  Indeed, if he doesnt grab that last rebound, Gillon is unlikely to have his heroics.

My original points stands, that we are better off on average getting Lydon (and TT/Battle/White) more shots and less for Gillon although Gillon is important in other ways.
