I'm officially coming out (I was wrong about Trey Lyles)

Basically we are learning that snyder and DL know what they are doing and are good at their jobs.

This is why I rarely post in the draft discussion thread - I'll be the first to admit I don't know jack **** about college basketball. I rarely watch an entire game before the conference tournaments start. I'm more than happy to leave it to the experts.

However I will say I won't beat myself up for killing this guy at the beginning of the season either - he sucked like I haven't seen a lottery pick suck in many years. His turnaround is akin to Private Pyle's in Full Metal Jacket without the blowing his brains out in the bathroom. I have no problem jumping on Lyle's bandwagon simply because it deserves to be jumped on.
 
props!! and apology accepted!! Remember, way back, when I said that I thought Lyles was a better prospect than Frank the tank, and people thought that was preposterous ?? The good old days:cool:..


Kaminsky(who turns 23 next week) is shooting 32% from the NBA 3 and Trey Lyles 38%.. He was a damn steal, and fell in their laps..




Lyles is going to be great, this recent stretch has been extremely impressive, I think it's a sign of great things to come. He's already a legitimate a flamethrower coming off the bench..

Can't wait til someone makes a compilation of all his rookie highlights, there will be plenty of slick moves and 3pt makes, and of course supreme displays of balance..

The Jazz were right about Lyles. I'm way excited about him. Whether he was the right pick over Booker remains to be seen, though.

Short term, I think Booker would have helped us more due to the Burks injury. Long-term, I'm hoping Lyles will prove to be a much bigger addition. Lyles and Burks are going to need to be huge next year off the bench. I don't see Lindsey doing much other than having the 1st round pick replace Burke. Perhaps look to replace Johnson with a vet combo guard.

I'll make a Lyles mix after the season is over.

Such a GREAT draft from top to bottom... legit potential All Stars in Towns, Okafor, Porzingis... then late lottery we have Myles Turner, Lyles and Booker, all potential stars for their respective teams.


Not to mention Justise Winslow who's been solid for Miami and Mudiay who's been solid for DEN.
 
Gobert, Hood, and now Lyles. Give DL props.

Exum would be wowing us, too, if it weren't for that injury. Can't wait to see him next season.

Im not too critical of DL even when he does pick a guy like Trey Burke I just assume it was God's plan. DL really wanted Giannis but God didn't so to rectify this poor choice by God he decided to give us Lyles, Hood, and Exum. Thank ****ing god.
 
How the **** did Kentucky not win the NCAA Tourney last year? Where the Harrison twins that bad?
 
Its crazy how much Lyles has improved his shot over the course of the season. He was shooting ropes when he came to the Jazz and now he has near perfect form.
 
Have I said recently how smart I looked in this last draft? I even drafted him for Boston in the jazzfanz mock draft. Pretty sure PGAB was cheating off me. Thought it was great timing by I Abach I calling me out on my Lyles love at draft time. Right after he made that epic thread Lyles stepped up to a higher level of play. Pretty sure I'm this year's honz:)
