Write Up
     Tyler Lydon fits the mold of combo SF/PF in today's NBA and is versatile enough to play outside and inside.  He has the makings of a small ball stretch 4 who has the athleticism to grab rebounds and score in the paint.  Lydon plays with toughness even though he lacks strength and isn't afraid to battle for rebounds or put his body into defenders (draws a lot of fouls).  He is able to put the ball on the floor at times in order to create his own shot or make plays for others, but it is still a work in progress.  Lydon needs to continue working on his defense, his lack of strength and instincts will make him a liability on that end against NBA talent.  Overall Lydon has skills that are in high demand (shooting, versatility) in today's NBA and should carve out a niche for himself in the pros.
