Burks playing team ball; Lyles not

Lyles doesn't have the benefit of being on a lousy team like Burks, Favors & Hayward did.

The Jazz are trying to win some games so the tolerance for errors with the young guys is much less - so Lyles naturally presses with the time he's given. He plays like he's trying to score 3 baskets on 2 shots. Burks went through the same thing a few years back.

I think you'd have to be real short-sighted to give up on Lyles - his size and ability to score from virtually anywhere in the half court setting is enticing enough to stick with the kid.
 
some of you guys are ridiculous tbh. when trey has a bad game, it's all "he's a bust. should've drafted booker." or when dante has a bad game "he's never going to amount to anything. what a waste." its like, really? they're both basically in their SECOND year of pro basketball. barely 20 and 21 years old. calm down. they'll mature and grow and become wonderful basketball players. give it time.

I mean, I wanted Booker, but I love Lyles. The dude is still young, he'll be fine.

If you guys want to get rid of someone, it needs to be Hood in the offseason.. maybe to move up in the draft to get someone they really like. Burks is making him expendable, mostly because Burks is on a much more team-friendly contract than what Hood is in line to get.
 
Lyles won't be traded until the Jazz decide what to do with Favors. If they pay Favs a large salary (and Hayward and Hill stay), there's no money left for Lyles. Then you trade Lyles for a pick and slide Bolomboy or a draftee into the backup 4 spot.
 
I actually like Lyles, just think he is pressing to score because of lack of PT. He has a great 3-pt shot, gets it off easily with great range. He'll get there. My observation was simply from last game.

Ive seen him have good games. I just wonder about his defense/rebounding when his shot isnt on (been off a lot lately).

I give guys a lot of slack early in their careers. Mostly because they take time to develop, especially when they leave college early. I like the skill set Lyles has, but he needs to find his rhythm. I have faith he'll get it, just a little disappointed he's not further along right now.
 
Sometimes it almost seems like Jazz fans want to complain about players just to complain.

I think this could be said about all fan bases. But it does seem like fans expect every player to be perfect from the moment they arrive in the league.

A lot times it comes from fans who have never attempted anything that requires mastery of any kind, in particular a physical discipline. They have no concept of what it takes to become proficient in anything and assume you either have it or don't. Which simply isn't the case especially at that level.

This basically means that there is a lot of noise. So much noise that it's hard to hear.
