Lyles is the pick at 12

Cy said:
Why? Because he is a light skin black guy who can shoot?

Walt Perrin basically laughed at the Klay Thompson/Devin Booker comparison in a predraft interview.

Maybe because multiple ex-NBA players, including Jalen Rose and Jeff Hornacek, have compared him to Klay Thompson? But go ahead bro... you can take advice from the same clown who saw "great potential" in trey burke. Has Walt Perrin ever dribbled a basketball in his life?
 
You know we are really trying hard to like the pick when we bring Kanter into the discussion and start saying our new pick has nothing to do with him :D
 
Thee Jazz Fan... He had the fastest Lane Agility time at the draft combine. How is that for not athletic? Do some research. LOL at calling Abach an idiot and then making a comment that is utterly idiotic.
 
Can Lyles be Donyell Marshall? I'd be really OK with that. Probably my favorite short term Jazz Player ever. He looked slow and smooth, but played really well as a fill-in for Russell and Malone. Kind of an average 3 point shooter, but still holds the record for 3 pointers made in a game. . .

Made this point a few days ago. Not sure about top 3 but more like in the 6-9 or 10 range

Not the best fit. Not better then Lyles who is more adept guarding on the perimeter we needed a small ball big.

Honestly he reminds me a lot of a more athletic fluid moving Boozer with more range on offense

I think he's saying he will pass the ball more then Kanter. Nothing more


I would expect an all round idiot like u to have this view. Lol at u thinking Bookers ceiling is Thompson. Booker can't defend isn't athletic and strictly a spot up shooter his ceiling is more Green from the Spurs with less defense.

From CBS sports: “Booker put up a ridiculous 10.22-second lane agility score that was the best for an off-guard since 2001, and the third-best overall of the last decade. That score was the best in this camp by a very healthy margin, beating Keifer Sykes by .28 seconds. He then followed that up with a 2.75-second shuttle run time, which also led the combine.” You’re right man. Booker isn't athletic at all. What the hell was I thinking?
 
I still would have rather had Booker, but the pick is growing on me more.

I like Dennis Lindsay and hope that they made the decision for a very good reason.

I can only imagine that in the draft room they were probably a little nervous about the pick themselves, and Booker probably was right behind Lyles on their draft board. It probably wasn't an easy pick, but just stuck to their board.
 
As far as Booker goes, I think he is athletic and Thee Jazz Fan made a mistake to say he isnt. But not sure you can easily compare him to Klay Thompson. Thompson is a special player. They don't grow on trees.

Comparing players doesn't ever really work and doesn't have much merit when it plays out. It's kinda dumb that people do it.

Could Booker be pretty good, yes, but I seriously doubt he'll be as good as Klay Thompson.

U shouldn't put much stock in that. I recall Jimmer doing quite well in those tests. Guys not known as athletes do well in these tests but doesn't always translate on the court.

D locke is a clown he has been pimpIng Lyles. At the same tome he talks about all his comps. Those comps are a dime a dozen becausr they arent special. We could pick one up easily. No way Lyles is better then Booker today.
