I'm officially coming out (I was wrong about Trey Lyles)

How the **** did Kentucky not win the NCAA Tourney last year? Where the Harrison twins that bad?
 
Its crazy how much Lyles has improved his shot over the course of the season. He was shooting ropes when he came to the Jazz and now he has near perfect form.
 
Have I said recently how smart I looked in this last draft? I even drafted him for Boston in the jazzfanz mock draft. Pretty sure PGAB was cheating off me. Thought it was great timing by I Abach I calling me out on my Lyles love at draft time. Right after he made that epic thread Lyles stepped up to a higher level of play. Pretty sure I'm this year's honz:)

Such a GREAT draft from top to bottom... legit potential All Stars in Towns, Okafor, Porzingis... then late lottery we have Myles Turner, Lyles and Booker, all potential stars for their respective teams.


Not to mention Justise Winslow who's been solid for Miami and Mudiay who's been solid for DEN.

Yeah, it was a good draft. Much better than scouts initially thought.

I still like Russell and Mario, too.

Well I remember looking at lyles college stats and iirc they were not good.
And yes, the Harrison twins were that bad
 
We're 12th in the NBA in 3 point percentage at 35.5%. We're 17th in attempts per game.

The Warriors are first in both.

No! they really weren't! anyone who says that doesn't know what they're talking about, or has a fuzzy memory.

In the only game they lost all year, the Harrison twins played well enough to win..


That game was lost on the boards. Trey was definitely a culprit he played 29 minutes and grabbed 1 rebound..

In the opening 10 minutes they got let Wisconsin jump out to a 10-3 lead on the boards I remember seeing that in the boxscore 10 minutes in and thinking 'they're gonna lose because of this', which sadly proved to be true. they had more offensive boards than Kentucky had total.. Trey went 0-3 in that stretch and the Twins were the only players to grab aboard in the first 5 minutes.

Team rebounds for the game finished, WIS-34 to UK's 22

If you're going to point the finger at anyone over that loss, it should be at WCS.
 
It'll be real easy to hate Westbrook as a Laker.
 
I remember Ellis269 and me leading the Turner train around this forum. I'm still bitter the Pacers got him but Lyles is a great pick nonetheless and I'm happy we got him.

I'm hoping his high basketball IQ and increased strength will help Lyles with defense and rebounding. I think he and Exum need to work on their cores. I also think Lyles would play great with Exum because Lyles played excellent fast break basketball during college and his court vision is so good - we haven't properly experienced it yet as Jazz fans.

If DL picks another winner in the draft our bench is going to be much improved with Burks returning next season and having Mack as the 2nd option at PG.
