As of now, he is predictable and needs to be to maintain some semblence of balance. Once he gets used to his new foot, and his new foot begins helping him more and more, the blocks will become a non issue.
Lance needs to explore ways to diversify bringing the ball up to shooting also. An overlooked part of the game. Old-school inside players, aka Hansbrough, do not get it striped. They manipulate ball movement from the waist to the shot in ways that get defenders off balance trying in vain to find the pea.
It is the ole shell game, in which the guy with the ball should always win, just like the guy with the shells.
