Trey Lyles Summer League highlights...

[LoPo]

I love this kid. He could evolve into an incredible scorer.

Lyles' moves are very impressive indeed. He seems incredibly coordinated. His poor FG% for the game(8-21) came as a surprise to me and that's why I wondered about his "lowlights". Summer League is obviously learning time, so it is fine that Lyles is being assertive. On the other hand, before becoming a go-to guy in real games he may have to become a good role player - let's call it "The Kawhi Leonard Path to Glory" -, so it would be nice to see what he is doing wrong out there.

You bring up a good point...it's always good to see what someone is doing wrong so they can improve on those things. But I think it would take someone with absolutely no life at all to compile a video of a player's missed shots, turnovers and bad defensive plays. Highlights are fun to compile, lowlights, not so much.

So where might Lyles rank in a redraft of 2015?

 

[NAOS]

That quick dribble hand-off for a 3 is sexy.

So where might Lyles rank in a redraft of 2015?

Players I would consider Lyles over:

Justise Winslow
Frank Kaminsky
Willie Cauley-Stein
Mario Hezonja

and maybe Myles Turner (if my team has Rudy Gobert.)

 

[LoPo]

If he can hit threes like that regularly, he's top 5. Rebounding 6'10" guys who shoot that fluidly are so rare.

Probably something like this...

1 KAT
2 Porzingis
3 Russell
4 Mudiay
5 Lyles
6 Turner
7 Booker
8 Okafor
9 Winslow
10 Hezonja

Lyles and Simmons appear to be the best bigs in Summer League, though I haven't watched it extensively.

Boy, oh, boy, this kid is fun to watch. He's pretty ****ing smooth. Last year, there were a few board posters complaining about his shooting mechanics and saying he would never be a good shooter.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

He hit a 30-foot 3-pt shot pretty easily off that tip out. He's surprisingly comfortable with range.

Has Mudiay actually been that good?

Has Mudiay actually been that good?

He showed a lot of potential.

He could arguably be above Russell.

Not yet, but he's a high-impact PG once he gets it together. Pretty valuable.

Why does Okafor fall to #8?

I know people aren't in love with him, but 18 and 7 as a rookie. To me he is the 3rd pick in a redraft.

For me, 8th is about right. 18 and 7 means nothing if the guy plays zero defense. That said, i wouldn't have Russell or Lyles that high. I'd have Booker higher.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I would say:

1. KAT
2. Porzingis
3. Okafor
4. Russell
5. Mudiay
6. Booker
7. Turner
8. Lyles
9. Jokic
10. Johnson
11. Winslow
12. Hezonja
13. Portis
14. Richardson

Really early to be doing a re-draft though, but that is how I would do it atm.

Hmm, perhaps I need to check out more nugget's games. Jokic should be up there as well shouldn't he?
