The most disappointing thing about Lyles to me isnt the lack of a 3pt shot this year, but the dude hasnt shown the playmaking ability that was advertised. He is a pretty mediocre passer without vision and has an extremely basic handle with 1 speed.

I really think Snyder made a big mistake in encouraging Lyles to become an outside shooter instead of some sort of frontcourt playmaker (like Diaw). The kid started to forcing outside shots and now barely passes the ball, takes it to the basket or posts up. His offensive game now mostly consists on what was previously his main weakness, the outside shot. The worst, though, is that he doesn't seem to have any consciousness while shooting. His usage rate is the fifth highest in the team (21.8%), while his true shooting percentage is the forteenth, or second worst (.495). :(
 
Some final thoughts on the game.

-Hayward was good from start to finish. Complete game. I've been harsh on him at times, but last night all praise.
-Joe Johnson. What an addition to this team. Clearly hes heating up at the right time, and figures to play an important roll in the stretch run.
-Hill finally got the 3 ball back. He looked pretty good all game.
-Exum. Nice first half. Really looked the player were hoping for. Got to work on making it a complete game now.
-Burks crap shooting night but loved his energy. He pumps his fist after Joe Johnson hit a 3 early in the game. Looks excited cheering on his guys late in the game. In short, hes into it, and that gives me the feels.
-Ingles seems to have hit midnight, and hes coming back down to reality on his 3 pt shot. Overall, he still helps the offense, and is a positive.
-This game was bizarre. At times the Jazz looked awful. When we had a few runs though it was thrilling. The crowd was into it.
-Gobert!
 
Catch me outside, how bout dat?
 
I still love Burks, but man he was absolute trash in that game yesterday. I hope those don't repeat too much.

Still, a pretty gritty win. It was nice to see Exum come up big, at least for him.
