Has it been confirmed Lyles is going if Canada qualify?

No, but you can reset rosters if you make the Olympics. Most of Canada's NBA guys said no to the OQT, but could still play in the Olympics. Wiggins would be the biggest get in that regard. Of course they would first have to beat France tomorrow which of course is very doubtful. France at full strength for the Olympics could definitely give US some problems.

I wonder if Lyles decides to play whether Triano would start him or Bennet at the 4?


Bennett was atrocious in last nights' game vs NZ.
 
Lyles is playing well offensively, but also putting up Kanter-level bad defensive performances all SL long.
 
Lyles doing work again, I see. Booker did well for the Suns today too, coming away with the win. I wonder how it would've gone if the Jazz went with Booker. I hope it's not one of those situations where we didn't select the better player agsin, like Paul George and Gordon Hayward. Yeah, Hayward is a very good player but George is an All-star though.
 
The way Lyles is shooting FTs might help him get more minutes during crunch time during the regular season. Seems like he's been around 90% the last 3 games.
 
We don't have zero roster spots.
Even if the Jazz dump Pleiss, Withey, Neto and Johnson, they're at 12 players. It's unlikely they find better options than Withey and Neto in Summer League, and Pleiss is owed $3mm this season (Neto's contract is also guaranteed). Not a great option for fringe prospects.
 
We have 0 roster spots unless we cut players on guaranteed contracts.

Wait, I guess Chris Johnson is only partially guaranteed? We could cut him and have one open spot. I'm guessing we cut him before his fully guarantee date and do the 10 day contract thing we do every year.

With Chris Johnson, the Jazz have 16 players. They have to cut someone just to get down to 15.
