INDIANA TOOK TALENT AGAIN

Indiana taking Turner felt like a dagger when it happened. Lyles is nice though.

Also, based on what everyone knew about Turner's offense coming into the draft, and seeing that video, exactly what concerns are there about his about his ability to play WITH Gobert? He's agile and has great shooting touch. Great arc too.
 
I felt there was a big dropoff from Turner to Lyles and wanted them to trade the pick after he was off the board. Glad to see Lyles is producing but watching them play think its fairly obvious Turner is a tier above.

Well the biggest negative on him is that he ran funny and had to be taught how to run properly or he would probably injure himself.

Turner fractured his thumb trying to put the ball on the floor earlier this season... he's not a good passer, and he's not a threat to drive, I'd say the way he moves is conducive to injuries also... Lyles keeps the defense on their heels because he's a triple threat, With Turner out there next to Rudy defenders would be able to hunker down in the passing lanes to disrupt the offense.. Turner would provide amuch more predictable look for the opposing defense playing next to Rudy IMO.

The Jazz run the shot clock out on offense, Trey Lyles is a perfect fit for that ****.
 
I don't think Turner can bring it like this!

Turner looks exactly like I expected him to. I'd have loved if the Jazz had gotten him. Have to get talent in the building first and foremost. It's stupid to draft for need in the NBA. Didn't think nearly as highly of Trey Lyles, but he's come a long way in a short time and made me a believer. Trey will be fine - and possibly special after he rounds his body into elite NBA shape. His playmaking skills alone are a valuable resource to have. The fact that he's shooting well and stretching things out. . .? Even better.

Another question to the jilted Myles Turner supporters here -- How many of ya's thought Turner was gonna be better than Porzingis?!

I didn't know a lot about Porzingis. From what I knew, I though Porz had a higher chance of being a bust. It's tougher to evaluate Euros and how their game will translate. Though Turner is converting from the field at a crazy-good rate - much better than Porzingis.

Not sure he and Gobert works. Offense yes, defense, no. We need Gobert in the middle, Turner guarding on the perimeter would be a disaster. I haven't seen much of Turner, but not sure he's quick enough to guard smaller 4's imagine him trying to guard a Morris twin or Dreymod Green, yikes!!

I'm happy with both Hayward and Lyles so far

Are we going to complain about every good player we could have drafted? What about the ones we drafted and became much better players than others picked ahead of them (Gobert, Hood) ?

Yes. And thank you for ask me.
