I like the 5 offensive rebounds, but he has lacked in the assist department for this tournament. http://www.serbia2007.fiba.com/pages/eng/fe/07/fiba/u19men/scheResu/p/eventid//gamename/A/groupname/49/langlc//roundid/5647/fe_scheStat_boxScor.html Looks like Lighty had another solid game.

Lighty's first priority will be defense but we'll need some points from him unless we want to rely on freshmen to consistently produce. The points I'm talking about are the ones on the road in the 2nd half of tight games. We're gonna be 10 deep so a lot of young guys will be taking shots with no real go to guy. It'll be critical that the veteran leadership (JB, Lighty, Hunter) provide that late game scoring punch in a half court set. It will be fun to see which new guys truly step up and play big minutes. Obviously, Koufos is most likely to emerge but Diebler, Turner or Wallace could step up considering the gaping hole at one of the shooting guard / wing spots. I assume we'll use more full/half court trap press defenses with all the athletes.. And dont forget about the Wiggler either. No doubt.

Lots of mins in big games and I'm guessing they're played in relatively hostile environments...Thad's got to be lovin' it. 10/game would be sweet this season, but having a stopper is definitely a key component in a championship caliber team. Tourney time rolls around and the ability to neutralize one stud on the opposing team is huge. You can’t put a price tag on this kind of experience.

I have been following the box scores and Lighty has started every game and is 3rd on the team in minutes played. This is getting him experience in playing big games, in which he can bring back this season. We will need 10+ points from him this year, but having a defensive stopper is more important for the Bucks. Remember Jeff Green? Lighty shut him down and he was the 5th pick in the draft. Is David Lighty the best defender in the world under the age of 19? We will see. This is great for Lighty and the Buckeyes!!
