Is Lyles a stretch 4?

He's like... a stretch 4 that shoots 17% from 3 and ~30% from long 2. If he doesn't become knockdown shooter he will bust!

I hope DL knows what he's doing...
 
I think I'm bummed just because it's not a very exciting pick. That being said, if he's a smart and skilled player I'll probably like him a lot more when he gets on the court.

I think Jazz took him as a playmaking/passing 4 who has potential to be a 3pt stretch. I don't think he bust if he never becomes a 3pt shooter. He could still develop into a 3rd big who has a lot of complimentary skills.

Yeah, this.

He is going to be a guy who fits Snyder's vision of "playing with the pass". Wasnt a fan of the pick, but high IQ guys usually succeed.
 
Woj before the Jazz pick:

OKC (14th) has been pushing to make a move into Utah's spot (12) in recent days -- and some of Thunder's top targets still on board now.

We didn't think Lyles would last til 14 or what?

Washington has traded for No. 15 and will select Kelly Oubre, sources tell Yahoo.
