INDIANA TOOK TALENT AGAIN

They didn't steal him. They merely made a good draft choice. I was the biggest Turner fan on here but he was taken directly prior to our pick and so one can't cry over scoring Turner.
 
Lyles is looking pretty good
 
He runs like he's about to **** himself though.. Jeff Withey is damn servicable as a backup C, and he's undercontract for a pittance - Would he have even gotten a shot if the pick was Turner??

Would Turner be able to fill in for Favors as Lyles has??No way, maybe he'd be productive but the floor balance wouldn't be nearly the same..

At one point some posters here, and HS scouting services thought he had more talent than Towns too.. (preseason and early in the year when UT was running good) They also said Myls Turner has 3pt range, and said Trey Lyles can't shoot -- how's that working out??


Theres infact a greater scarcity of players like Lyles, IMO. At least ones in the Jazz projected range coming thru the pipelines -- I can fill this thread with 20 posts of 6'11" players born from 1995-2000 that can shoot.

They found Rudy at the bottom of the first..

Another question to the jilted Myles Turner supporters here -- How many of ya's thought Turner was gonna be better than Porzingis?!
 
I'm happy with both Hayward and Lyles so far

Are we going to complain about every good player we could have drafted? What about the ones we drafted and became much better players than others picked ahead of them (Gobert, Hood) ?

George>Hayward and now Myles Turner>Trey Lyles.

I'm assuming Turner is a center, and with Gobert there Turner is relegated to 15 min a game. I wanted Lyles for a reason. And fill a greater need for the Jazz then Turner does.
 
I'm not ready to proclaim MT as the steal of the draft just yet after one monster game. Anyone remember Trey Burke scoring 30 vs. Orlando his rookie year?
Turner is a less athletic more finesse version of Derrick Favors. Lyles has shown potential to be a strech 4, I don't really see that in Turner.
 
Turner is a good player. I'm happy with lyles. Sacramento and some other teams will likely regret passing on Myles. Good basketball player but an even better human. Hard worker... His run was so awkward that I really didn't want the Jazz to pick him but then the guy actually hired a coach and did some medical analysis on the issue and discovered a strength deficiency and worked on his running technique. Shows great work ethic and self awareness. Many of these guys would have just said it isn't and issue and tried to brush past it... He faced it head on. I wish the kid all the success he's worked for.

Lyles is developing into exactly the kind of front court piece we need. Shooting, driving, passing, and he's had some good moments on defense. Dude is young... His in season improvement in his game and confidence has been phenomenal.
