I am really surprised that he has struggled as much as he has.  My ears DEFINITELY perked up in the late preseason before the games started, when he said that he was adjusting to running a structured offense, which he had never done before.  Not good.

His handle is much better than he's shown.  Ditto scoring. But if he isn't going to make anything happen, if he's going to play tentatively, and if he's not going to make things happen with the ball in his hands by using his penetration to set up teammates, then he doesn't deserve PT.

He's the third [and only other] guard on this team.  He needs to straighten the hell out, even if his future is just as a reserve.

On an unrelated note, the same logic applies to Chukwu and Roberson, IMO.  If you aren't going to make positive contributions--see ya.  That's the benefit of having other options [which we often don't have in the lineup].  Give Thompson an audition as the big man reserve spelling two positions, roll with Coleman as the starter, and Lydon sees an increasing amount of time in the middle as the season moves forward.
