This is a great discussion.  Please continue to makes posts.

Here's my logic why Lydon comes off the bench.  Assume these are your starters: Gillon, Battle, White, Roberson, Coleman.  If Gillon makes a mistake substitute him with Howard.  If Battle makes a mistake bring in Lydon.  Move White to the 2 spot.  Lydon plays the 3 or 4  with Roberson.  If you do it the other way and bring Battle off the bench.  Then if he makes a mistake in a minute or two then you have to substitute him with someone who was just playing.  JB has done this with Freshmen who have started in the past.  Actually, I've seen him take out any of the starters who  up in the first few minutes many times.

Plus I like the idea of tiring out the other teams starters and then bringing in one of you best offensive players.  A fresh player appears to have more spark coming in after five minutes.

We may see Howard start over Gillon.  According to Francis in his last pod, Howard was owning Gillon during MC pickup games.

I could see this being the starters:  Howard, White, Lydon, Roberson, Coleman

It's hard to think Battle doesn't start.  This is not easy.
