Message: [QUOTE="OrangeZeus, post: 2118137, member: 4174"] I selfishly want him to come back, but what weaknesses will he improve on by returning? To me, the two things he needs to work on right now are his ball handling and his explosiveness/agility. I think a large reason why Lydon seemed passive on offense this year is because he was mostly a catch and shoot guy on the perimeter. He could take his game from a 13ppg scorer to a 16ppg scorer next year if he improves his two main weaknesses, but would that really make that much of a difference given the fact he'd be a year older and teams value youth so much right now? I'm not sure how much value Lydon would gain by coming back for a junior year to improve in those two areas. If NBA teams tell him he's a first rounder, which they probably will even if they don't intend on drafting him, then I think he's as good as gone. Hope I'm wrong though. [/QUOTE]
