I for one was not convinced with the draft pick of Trey Lyles, but he is really developing with all of the injuries. Great games the last two and if he doesn't deserve to be on the rookie ladder now, I don't know who does.
Also, do you guys remember when some HACK said this less than a week ago:
"The common theme the Jazz seem to use for drafting, is just try to bring in "good guys". It seems like they are willing to pass up potential for safe picks too.
This gets so old and frustrating. At what point do they say to themselves, we actually want to win, and we are gonna take some chances?
Trey Lyles is a perfect example of this. He's got all the makings of a good role player, and zero star potential. You are kidding yours if you think otherwise. So the question is, what is the point of that? Why spend a bunch of time developing a guy that you could replicate pretty easily in a trade or free agency?
I know it's hard to land a star at the 14th pick, but you still have to take swings and try. There were a bunch of players picked after Lyles that have higher upside than him."

Sooooo impressive. That fake handoff blow by of Rudy Gay and dunk in light traffic... I have been waiting for a jazz big to do the fake handoff all year. That shot is automatic from the corner right now.
His rebounds have declined because Rudy is a rebound vacuum. His defense isn't terrible right now. Give him a real PG or a threat like Alec Burks and wow. I went from a 2.5 excitement level on him to a 10 overnight.[/QUOTE]
I agree, he looks like he could be the real deal and be our best player.
his passing ability is pretty good too. I hope he can develop into draymond green type of player. his defense will be concern but his offensive skill is impressive. 20 years old? sick

Watch his body control in these shots. Like where he drive sin from the top of the key gets bumped as he jumps and in air as he is falling to his left parallel to the basket he squares his body in air and nails the J.

Woopty Doo!!
He actually looked decent for once. It was against the worst defense in the league.
I've never said he's a bust. I've just said his ceiling isn't high enough. He will be at best as good as Hayward. Like Dr Jones said, he doesn't project to be a good defender. Everyone wants to be like Golden State and run a point forward out there, but Lyles will never be a defender like Draymond. So we are gonna get something less than Draymond, and we won't get the same type of results.
Funny how everyone is so excited about Lyles. In 5 years there will be Lyles trade threads because he won't be good enough to make us contenders. That's the point. We just keep drafting average players.
