With Battle, after 9 games, you go with what you see on the court.    He can shoot threes, he is athletic defensively -- and he is raw in half court, other than as a shooter.  Likely, he got by in high school with his size and strength -- and not with polished guard skills.   I expect he will improve in his ability to drive and score.

You seem to be underestimating White -- who is consistently our top scorer, or close to top.  He can and does get his shot, and also find openings where his teammates can set him up.  He has carried the team for long stretches, but typically in the first halves of games, and not so much in the second. 
 
Lydon -- I wonder how much he has played high post, in practices or in previous seasons.   His progress there is important.  Thompson looks like he is very comfortable in that role.   The improvement we need from Lydon is his work close to the basket.

If you are looking for "the guy" you might be disappointed.  We have balance.  It is remarkable that each of our 8 guys has had at least one big game -- with White being the most consistent, but the others taking turns in having individual high games.    We have to use that balance, get our share of easy shots, convert inside, and make a team effort on the boards.
