Trey Lyles Highlights from Last Night #3

[fishonjazz]

11 pts, 5.5 assists I tried finding rebounds but had no luck.

There is no way he averaged 5.5 assists.

I think that may have been the rebounding average.

This. I would guess assists would be 2.5 to 3.

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?
I feel good, this team is coming together.

Exactly. And the other parts of building up the team are upgrading starters, which we did with Gobert vs. Kanter and creating team and unit chemistry. Team chemistry from what we hear is probably best in the league. And the unit chemistry might be tweaked a bit by inserting Hood over Burks as a starter.

AS you said, now it's time to focus on the 2nd and 3rd units. Some of the old backups are being pushed down and replaced by better players. That's a good evolution. From 1-15, Utah might be one of the deepest teams in the league next year. I am REALLY excited for training camp and pre-season to begin!

The true 6th man role is still up for grabs. Lyles has a good a chance as any at taking that role.

Not to mention a monumental upgrade to coaching.

Oh, c'mon, I think Corbin could have led the Warriors to a championship.



Nah, scratch that. David Lee would have been playing 30 mins/per and Draymond Green would have been their 12th man.

They are also building a complete team. By that I mean look at all the possible lineups. You can go big with Exum, Hayward, Lyles, Favors, Gobert. You can also go small with something like Cotton, Burks, Hood, Lyles, Favors/Booker. That's more of an example but we have players at ever position that are interchangeable. On paper, we should be able to play any style of ball.

Great point. We've always had some versatility, but never as much as now. That versatility also allows Utah to survive some injuries. You can slide players around to minimize the negative impact.
