Lyles playing like this so early in his career indicates that he is starter material. Favors is a proven starter. You cannot have 3 starting bigs. And you cannot afford all 3 either. Question remains, does Lyles make Favors expendable? Not immediately, not right now, but can you see it coming?
Hard to say, so much to a game besides offense. However, Lyles offense is smooth and has a nice mix of floaters, 3s, layups and dunks. I think he compliments Rudy and Favors very well.
I'm getting more and more excited about Lyles, but I'm still not sure I'd take him over Devin Booker.
Booker still looks good. He's had many more games where he's scored double digits. He's shooting 43 % from 3. I like his combination of swagger and IQ. He's even younger than Lyles, too.I liked Booker better during the draft, but Lyles is looking pretty good.
We may lose Withey to free agency at the end of next year. So that would mean Favors now gets 15 minutes of center duty again. So while Lyles wouldn't start, he could still easily get 30 minutes a game. No reason to trade anyone unless its a killer deal.

I agree. My point is the difference between the two is smaller. Lyles size could be a big plus.

There are dos Treys coming on strong this year. Is there another Trey available anywhere? It would be sort of cool to have trey Treys.A lot of if's, but if Dante' and Burks come back healthy, and we sign a solid vet, we should have a pretty deep team next year. That makes us 8 deep with Trey, Neto, and Withey bringing up the rear.
