Exactly. Now do I hope DC does well? Absolutely. But, injury or no injury, he lacks in most every facet, unless he's playing smaller, weaker players. Not trying to dump on the kid, but at this point, ya either have it, or ya don't... and with him it's the latter. All this talk of giving DC time to develop is nice if you wanna believe it, but how come Lydon doesn't need all this time to develop as a freshman from day 1? Only so many mulligans you can give a kid -- I mean, it's not like college is the first time he picked up a basketball.

Lydon's court awareness is vastly better than DC's. Why can't DC seal off his defender, catch on the low-post, back him down, give some pump fakes, spin and make a simple move to score? In all the practices and games, you're telling me he still doesn't have this in his arsenal? What exactly does he do in practice? There's an "it" factor that DC will never have, unfortunately. He was over-hyped outta HS.  All the game-time he sees this season likely won't matter, cuz I've accepted that we'll see the same DC game-in, game-out.  He's a liability on defense, and a zero on offense.

Before tip-off, maybe someone should go into the locker room, push DC around, talk some trash, and try to light a fire under his rear to play motivated and pissed off on the court.

Prove me wrong, DC!
