The fact that our fans think Lydon doesn't play well, but still fills up the stat sheet is probably exactly why people in the NBA thinks he's a first round pick.

He is a first-round pick. The fact that Lydon is a first-round talent who's okay with averaging 13 ppg on a bubble team is exactly why our fans are frustrated with him.

As good as Thompson can playon offense when hes on his game hes a blackhole rebounding wise 2 boards???????

You can't expect to rebound when you run to half court after the shot goes up

 

[NineOneSeven]

Thompson has literally no freaking clue on defense... STILL!

Fact. Lydon will never face defenses that play this tough EVER in the NBA. And secondly he won't be the focus for any team as he'll be at best a third scoring option on the floor and will get open looks. What does he do well...shoot. That's why he's a potential first rounder.

 

[orangenirvana]

Roberson, the rebounding "specialist", has all of 3 RBs.

It's amazing that's the same player who averaged nearly 12 rebounds per game on the way to the Final Four in last year's NCAA Tournament.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Boeheim picks like Grayson Allen trips.

NBA also looks at efficiency. It's not impressive on the number of attempts he has taken. His rebounding is good even when his offense is bad.

I wish he shot the ball more as well. I also wish we had someone besides him who would rebound.

That's ridiculous. You tremendously underestimate the defense in the NBA.

I'm still kind of surprised that Lydon doesn't play the 5 and TT the 4. I guess TT isn't quick enough on the wings? He seems he would be.

 

[bpo57]

Agreed.

Who are we a bad matchup for?

Dook.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Agreed.

Doook.

He's not playing in the NBA.

Great work.

I don't need to underestimate it. I've watched plenty of games.

 

[samspann1]

As great as these second half spurts always are, it is very annoying that we don't play with this level of intensity and focus from the start of games.

Certain players as well, seem to play with little intensity or focus in first halves

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Dook.

Jynx.
Do I win, with the extra 'o?'

 

[Cuse House]

I'm done with you Lydon.

 

[jdubs30]

Another wide open Lydon pump fake 3...into a travel

 

[orangenirvana]

Lydon pump fake. Drink.

 

[samspann1]

Wide open 3... Nah

 

[OrangeDW]

That pump fake and then travel...I almost threw my phone at the tv. Ridiculous.
