Message: [QUOTE="jordoo, post: 1391971, member: 569"] I had Lydon in as a forth shooter. It was basically a prospective shooting lineup if we where struggling to score. I was just thinking of it from a stretch the floor, get 1on1 touches for Coleman or open shots perspective. I also think that that lineup could get some slashing done off of kickouts as well as open jumpers. I think Roberson will be a big part of the team this season but, he needs to develop some consistent offense when receiving the ball away from the basket or he could cause some offensive issues like last year. I think he will have a very solid season overall. I'm not sold yet that he can truly develop that midrange jumper which his game needs. I hope he can but I'm just not ready to count on it. Joseph on the other hand is IMO very likely to shoot that mid range pull up well this season. I think the questions with him have more to do with improving his handle and belief in his handle. He needs to be able to keep the dribble alive until he has a pass or a shot. He also needs to learn how to run the offense and of course be a threat to do damage while driving. I think all of those things will come to him much easier in his second season. Will he be able to improve in all those area's enough to be a studd? doubtful but likely enough to be an effective PG. I actually worry more about his defense to be honest. It was alarming and shocking to see someone play out top all season and basically never get it while also seemingly refuse to put forth any sort of consistent effort. In short I expect Roberson and Joseph to start and have good seasons. As far as Lydon I don't disagree that it may take him a while to pick up the nuances of the defense but I have a suspicion that he will have sort of a CJ Fair like freshman season. When his number is called he will make plays and contributions enough to counter act his mistakes and make him a valuable bench player. [/QUOTE]
