what about Trey Burke?

You know, our savior and all that nonsense?

Now the truth is out and he's not much more than a backup.

He at least a decent backup. I'll give you that. I'm not as down on him as others though.

Just saying. That set you back a ways. If you are gonna go that far out on a limb about a player, you better be right.

I'll pass on your basketball expertise.
 
it's way too early to be calling him a bust. I wasn't happy with the pick, but he's here, he's young, and does some things I like (mainly outlet passing, passing, taking bigs off the dribble, and drawing fouls), but there is equally as much that has me thinking he'll take some time before he's a true positive for us (defense, flat shot, having no strength when boxing out, jumping the opposite direction of the basketball on rebounds, and simple thinks like looking like he's engaged and cares). There were definitely better options available at 12, but this isn't a big deal, yet.
 
Lyles' driving game will be killer if he starts making his jump shots and becomes a threat from 3.
 
I was at the games and noted his struggles. But his shots are all on-line. He's very active on both ends. He runs the floor very well and leaks out on transition. Most of the issues should be correctable with coaching. FWIW I saw several high draft picks today with respective issues. Calling them busts at this stage is just premature and immature.
