Las Vegas Summer League Game Thread: July 11th - Utah Jazz vs. Miami Heat 7:30 PM PST

What is happen is now at the draft everyone gets pissed about this pick and most try and convince themselves that MAYBE it's not so bad.trust in DL. Jazz DNA buzzwords flying around. Now we see him and still just doesn't make sense and now I remember why I hate this oick so much!

I think Lyles will be pretty good, but it will take him 1 - 2 years to turn the corner. It's just normal physical maturation and figuring out what he can do as a PF. His body needs work. His shot needs work. His defense needs work. This is just summer league. He may get his *** handed to him in the regular season.

I hope you are right one thing we can do is know ip he is only 19 and maybe...maybe he will develop into something when we need booker moves on.

I, like Fish, hated the pick. Then tried to like it, but he sucks. It was a wasted pick. So disappointing. yeah, now I'm sad the Jazz won so many games down the stretch. And that Indy didn't make the playoffs. Turner looks great.

Lyles isn't a wasted pick. He'll probably be a solid rotation player, maybe more.
 
It took Hayward until his third season to develop into a reliable 2-way player. Lyles might be similar. He's got good feel and IQ. He's got good measurables. There's something to work with, for sure.
 
Lyles did alright. However, what bugs me about him is his shot and free throw attempts are too flat. There are no arc in them whatsoever. I cringed every time he made an attempt. He needs to work on those if he wants to make it in the league.

lol it's been 2 summer league games. Bargnani looked like a beast in summer league. Lyles hasn't played 5 on 5 in a long time and he's out of game shape. He'll look better when he plays with Exum and Hood in summer league and the rest of the good players during the regular season.

Probably right but he still needs to be able to make open shots

Hayward was good in college though wasn't he?

I'm tired of the 'rusty' trope. Last time I checked Lyles was on a team that made a final 4 run, so that means he shouldn't be as rusty as any other player coming out of this draft. Saw some peeps on this board compare him to Chris Webber or Bosh after the first SL game. Time to call it how we see it - Trey Lyles looked like puppy **** tonight and there aren't any excuses for his performance.
 
By the way, I was watching Exum at the end of game and he's still limping a bit. I don't think he'll suit up in any of the Jazz summer league games in Vegas. It's gonna suck... sigh.

what about Trey Burke?

You know, our savior and all that nonsense?

Now the truth is out and he's not much more than a backup.

He at least a decent backup. I'll give you that. I'm not as down on him as others though.

Just saying. That set you back a ways. If you are gonna go that far out on a limb about a player, you better be right.

I'll pass on your basketball expertise.
 
it's way too early to be calling him a bust. I wasn't happy with the pick, but he's here, he's young, and does some things I like (mainly outlet passing, passing, taking bigs off the dribble, and drawing fouls), but there is equally as much that has me thinking he'll take some time before he's a true positive for us (defense, flat shot, having no strength when boxing out, jumping the opposite direction of the basketball on rebounds, and simple thinks like looking like he's engaged and cares). There were definitely better options available at 12, but this isn't a big deal, yet.
 
Lyles' driving game will be killer if he starts making his jump shots and becomes a threat from 3.
