Trey Lyles Summer League highlights...

[Jazz4ever]

Is okafors ceiling big al Jefferson?

He could be a little better defender due to his strength and 7'6" wingspan. Until they put some shooters around him they'll never know what they have.

Some of the stuff he's done in Summer League reminds me of Rashard Lewis. Now let's see how much of it translates to the real competition.
I was a little bit confused how little of his drives resulted in assists given that his court vision had been praised so highly before he came to the NBA.

Are you talking about Summer League or last season? Because it is obvious is Summer League he has the green light to just score. Test his boundaries, I don't think he cares about kicking it out to Butterfield and Paige all that much.

I'd argue against that he cared to pass it to the Harrison brothers in college, who are probably worse than Marcus Paige. He passed it to Marcus Lee, who's probably gonna be a rim protector in Europe, he passed to Dakari Johnson, who is probably a 3rd Center on a roster.

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.

But can you win with Okafor as your starting 4 or 5? I'm not a fan mostly because I watched Jefferson and Kanter give up 100 layups a game for 4, 5ish years. Okafor reminds me a lot of them defensively. I don't think he'll ever start on a good defensive team. But who knows, maybe he's prove me wrong.

Keep in mind that Lyles shot 40% in total last year on catch and shoot 3's. He has improved immensely since then. How do you stop a 6'10" dude that can shoot and move like that at such a young age? I'm starting to believe that he's your superstar that you have been wanting. If he can fix his shot so effortlessly, I suspect he can learn his defensive positioning too. How the Hell did he fly under the radar like he did?

thank Cal and his over-abundance of talent. only 1 ball to go around.

No other GM's realized he has such great balance.
