I had that exact same thought. He has those Kevin Garnett crazy eyes!

Kinda like boris diaw?
Me tooLyles was the last player I wanted.
You mean the first 15 games of his NBA career are not enough to accurately predict if he belongs?
Stunned...
I think people are pining for a rookie to show star potential for once. Lyles hasn't shown anything but role player potential. It's easy to see potential stars early on, even 15 games in.
^^ Nothing like a Lamar Odom comparison to top off another terrible post..
There's not too many players like Lyles, at his size and age, not gonna say he's a special unique snowflake but there is a rarity to his game. Players with his skillset, of his quality don't tend to come along every year, Usually players with his skillset/acumen are more like 6'5-6'8" SF's.. Thats why he was always so highly rated - because it's difficult to miss a prospect like Trey Lyles when you look thru these amateurs enough, prototype PF size and ample skill will can get you a long way, and Lyles has always passed the eye test with flying colors as far as I'm concerned. I'm only encouraged by what I've seen from him so far on the Jazz. He hasn't been great, but I think he can be, if he steadily improves thru the years. Once his outside shot is $$$ he'll be very dangerous, and even off the bench could provide the team with a boost/different look.

Ive been right about all Jazz draft picks so just ask me. He is a bench role player. Best case Lamar Odom type when lakers had they big 3 bigs and kobe.. Most likely he is a 7th or 8th guy off a bench. Sorry but its true. Check my track record
Is lamar odom not tall and have those same qualities? I never said he was going be as good as LO just that is his ceiling.. He is overrated and got picked to high in draft IMO

Which is ridiculous.. The exact reason mediocrity is such a bad place to be is you very rarely draft "stars" in the late lottery. You're looking at borderline starters/role players at the spot when you go through previous drafts.
I like that jewan howard compI don't get to attend many games, but I prefer watching live in order to evaluate players. I watched lyles all night Monday. On defense and offense, whenever he was in I was focused on him. Mostly I like what I saw.
He moves well, very fluid. He covers space quickly, and seemed to know where he was supposed to be. He anticipates well and gets his hands in to deflect passes and rebounds.
My only concern is that he seems like a Jazz man, in other words tentative. This might change as he matures and the team composition changes. He reminds me of a little of Juwan Howard, or kris Humphries. Both had long careers, neither was a real difference maker.
