Lyles is the pick at 12

[Dr. Jones]

This was actually my least wanted selection.....

but I hope it works out.

I guess he is a real mold-able prospect. Jazz must have liked what he was showing on his jumper in workouts.

David Locke is going to be ecstatic.

My money is well spent.

 

[Shad]

Watch the selection on youtube. All of the commentators are perplexed that we didn't take booker

 

[NUMBERICA]

guys he is going to be traded to the Knicks

I don't know why I have even the slightest hope that this would happen, but I do.

Once again a pick where there will be threads in a few years about players who are way better than him and who we should have drafted

 

[stitches]

Welcome to the Jazz and good luck to Trey and I hope he sways all my doubts and makes me eat every single bad word I've said about him. He adds versatility with the bigs unit and I sincerely hope he succeeds with the Jazz

GO JAZZ!

Trey Lyles is a damn good player, he's very skilled. He's polished offensively for 19 years old. he's got a chance to extend his range beyond 20ft. Prototype PF size. His shooting mechanics are really nice IMO, I think the questions about his efficiency from distance will prove to be unfounded. He's got an array of jab-steps, pumpfakes back to the basket and faceup moves, he's a triple threat.

"Triple threat" in what way? That would typically mean: scorer, defender, facilitator, no?

 

[Hekate]

Yeah... All the best to Lyles. Hopefully at somewhere else.

 

[NAOS]

Now we have two Treys to trade.

Ummm...no. Triple threat as in shoot, drive, pass. Pretty common term.

 

[//r00t 4 Jazz]

I'm glad I have read almost nothing but negative posts and same from the ESPN heads, makes me feel much better about this pick, on top of I trust the Jazz more than any of you. I expected some hate but not as much as he's getting, I actually thought the Jazz would draft him over Myles Turner but I do agree I'm surprised he was picked over Booker, I think the Jazz think he can turn into the stretch 4 that I was think Dekker could turn into.

Just like last year people said Hood would be a horrible defender and I was wondering why because the Duke team defended horrible but Hood was almost always on the other teams best defender so that made him look worse then he really is. No Trey Lyles was a PF guarding SF's so that will also make him look worse then he really is, I'm not saying he's going to be a good defender just not a bad one and I don't know him but I would guess he was put a SF because he has good play making ability so that does translate to the Jazz offense as a stretch 4.

He's polished, good form and a good player, he just comes off as soft to me. I'm meh on it, but he'll grow on me.
