What's new

Lyles is the pick at 12

People were pleased with Exum, Hood, and Gobert also. The Hayward pick was a meltdown.

I suppose you're right. Exum, however, was please one of the four fall to us, and he did. Same with Hood, and Gobert was a freak of nature trade for, so of course the stadium went bat **** crazy.
 
Dunno why this franchise seems intent on letting The Book go. I thought he was a valuable emotional engine in addition to his contributions in the box score. Aside from Gobert who else showed emotion out there?
 
Back to Lyles, just watched my first video of him ever and was very impressed with his bbiq and ability to change speeds to get to his spot down low. I'm a bit concerned about his lack of athleticism, speed, and somewhat with his length. 7'1 wingspans can have a huge difficulty scoring at the 4 in the NBA. However, he has the craftiness and alertness to overcome his physical limitations (still sounds funny to say that about any NBA lotto pic, but this is the circus of world bodies we are talking about).

I like his brains, he's no Kanter.

I agree we should keep Booker, He is a perfect pf off the bench for this team. PF seemed like the position we needed the least. But maybe they are planning a big trade that will involve Book or Lyles when FA begins.
 
I just can't get behind this pick. I want to , but I cant. I'm trying to like him by watching highlights. I'm liking him less though.


Cons.

He looks slow and unexplosive.
Can't rebound
Can't shoot.
Can't play defense.

Pros

Played for Kentucky ???
Measurements
Age.


That's how lIm ooking at him.


He looks like a huge bust. He has so much improving to do.

Still can't believe we picked him.
