Trey Lyles Highlights from Last Night #3

Now now daughter, common sense can tell you otherwise. Public education may not be par in Evanston wy
 
Is it just me, or are we entering a phase of building up our second unit? Neto/Cotton, Burks, Johnson, Lyles, and Pleiss seem to have good potential and could be something someday. And this is exactly how it should be, right? As our starting five starts to solidify, naturally we should be grabbing good second string talent as our draft placement begins to move toward the 20's. I think now is a good time for the Jazz to grab better than deserved talent because we are transitioning from door mat to Western Conference playoff team. Trey Lyles with the 12th pick was huge, based on talent alone, we should have picked around 23 or so.

I feel good, this team is coming together.
 
Having watched Trey Lyles through summer league I was concerned that he didn't play physically, didn't rebound well, or set very good screens. Color me a homer, but I am not as worried about it anymore. If you watch Trey Lyles through the perspective that he's only played wing the last year and a half, you realize that's the skill set he is portraying on the court. He has nice jab step moves, he plays defense by moving his feet well - not above the rim, doesn't get wide aggressive under the basket, plays the PnR poorly as the screener but very well as the ball handler, good passer.

I think we have a unique player, but I can totally understand why Lindsay brought back Booker as a stop-gap while Lyles gets acclimated.
