Cy was not too happy, too, he's just trying to switch to a more positive mode, as am I now. We can't do anything but support our rookies now and try to help them succeed.

I will be be rooting for both Lyles and Hanlan and hoping they become great players for the Jazz...

GO JAZZ!

Yep, time to put the initial disappointment in the rear view mirror. Utah gonna shock the world.

What? As much as I disliked our pick, I'd sure as hell hope our fate wouldn't depend on #12 draft pick, or we were screwed before we started. Utah is going to be damn good next year, and hopefully Lyles makes us all look like fools in a few years.
 
Who did you guys want us to pick?

Dekker?

Booker?

Oubre?


It's not like there was an obvious holy-*** type of pick sitting there at 12.


I liked Oubre, but I would predict that the Jazz had Lyles very high on their draft board, likely ahead of both Oubre and Turner.

He's got very solid size and skills for the PF position.

I'm sure Lyles will be a fine role player. Safe pick
 
@catchall... as I said I'm moving onto a more positive mood so I won't be listing anybody, if you want to see I bet you can find threads with people's wishes and draft boards.
 
Trey Lyles was only the roll man in a PNR 9 times all year.

Holy crap. That is crazy for a guy who is going to be a PF. Shows you how out of position he was asked to play at UK.
 
I agree that there weren't any knockout options left. I was really hoping for a trade up involving Burke and picks. My second option would have been a guy who is already a natural shooter, so yeah, I'd have preferred Booker. Not so much that I have something against Lyles, I just really didn't want to draft a guy who can't shoot and have to hope he learns. Anyway, time to put our faith in the coaching staff.

Not surprising considering Calipari's taintbook.

There are some things I like about Lyles. I think he'll work in our offensive system well. I think he's smooth attacking the basket, ala Boozer. I see Lyles and Gobert playing well, and getting along off the court. I see them becoming friends for some reason.

Where does this leave Booker though? We need his passion and energy. I was fine with Booker in the 4 spot. Lyles is so laid back we'll be missing Booker's fire for sure.

Let's just hope this pans out...
