Great pick. The next Draymond Green. Only bigger, stronger and better.

Great pick. Love it.

That's who I see as well. Green shot 2-17 from 3 in his first two years at Michigan St. Lyles will develop a three point shot.
 
I'm softening on the pick as the night goes on. I trust DL and more so Snyder. Because he's handsome, young and smart. I remind me of him.

is there any competition for Bodhi for best handle on Jazzfanz?
 
Anybody watch Locke's Draft Observations before the draft but after the player interviews? He pretty much was dead on, on who's available, said Booker could drop and the Jazz could have to decide between him, Oubre and Lyles.

Walt Perrin thought Lyles was better than Towns before the season started.

I'm going back and watching some Lyles youtube footage from high school. I think he has some upside. He has a lot of room to improve his body. He can be more of a power player and be more explosive. He's not quick, but he's so smooth and moves efficiently to go along with his good size. He can be an impact player.

I'll say this -- he should be better than Millsap, both offensively and on the boards.

He's a guy you'd want to get into P3 right away. I don't think he's ever worked as hard as he's going to work in the NBA. He doesn't look like he was every pushed all that hard in high school or maybe at UK either.

Interesting Perrin's comment that Lyles has played some 3 so he's ahead of the curve of most 4's in terms of playing on the perimeter.

Lyles is going to open up a lot of stuff in Snyder's playbook.

I also see this possibility. But, the kid has a ton of work to do on his body. He's lucky he's come to a staff that is uber-focused on player development, where he can work a lot on conditioning and habits for the first year.
 
It's weird trying to defend this pick since I would have rather seen the Jazz draft about 5-6 other players before Lyles.

Still, is it possible to see how he performs in a season before the guy gets crucified here?

Can you imagine the knicks take him like they said once before? waaaaaaah?? serious bad things probably happen. Trey L might be the only player projected top 15 who no one(fan) on any team really wanted, but GMs seem to like. who knows.
 
Locke mentioned in his interview tonight with Lyles that he hit 25 of 40 corner 3's during his workout in Utah. This kid is intriguing enough that maybe those freaking the hell out should calm down for just a sec.
 
I think Lyles will be a guy who can initiate and make good decisions with the ball in his hands. His passing looks a bit underrated. It's not quite a direct comp, but I think Lyles can play a role similar to that of Greg Monroe. He's *almost* the same size as Monroe, but is quicker and more fluid. He plays more as a forward facing up and just has a knack for making plays.

The pundits are saying we should have taken Booker, but I think Lyles will go down as an underrated pick. That's a solid pick at #12. I don't think he busts. He's too smart and versatile.
 
Seems like a solid pick at #12, personally preferred Booker but that's about it. We were hoping for somebody to drop and nobody did, oh well. More than a little bummed we didn't use one of our later picks to grab Mam, I suppose the off-season isn't over and who knows what we'll do next.
