Stretch-forward rebounder with pro pedigree
Tyler Lydon was a highly productive Syracuse forward who, in his sophomore season, led the Orange in rebounds (8.6 per game) while ranking second in scoring (13.2), showing the kind of inside-out impact teams love from a modern power forward.[4] He was drafted 24th overall in 2017, which signals real two-way upside, and Syracuse coverage noted he could take over when the team needed a spark, including a 29-point game on elite shooting against Georgetown.[2][5] The main caution is durability: he later underwent left-knee surgery in the NBA and missed about four months.[3]
