Lyles is the pick at 12

So far my biggest concern about this is why PKM hasn't posted all about him.

But then maybe he's now posting on the PHX board.
 
The Jazz are very judicious and well prepared for drafts. They had their choice of Devin Booker, Kelly Oubre and Trey Lyles at 12. We couldn't really expect more than that. At least they didn't take Dekker.
 
I really hope the Jazz FO knows what they are doing here. I think this is going to come back to bite us in the ***.
 
Boozer fell because he played Center at duke and had more weight on ,but over the summer before his 1st season lost weight and came in slim and powerful and ended up making ****ing millions and was damn good with DWill ,Kirilenko and Mehmet

One thing everyone needs to realize is that Lyles is skilled he can handle some great passer for a big. Good midrange shooter with potential out to the three. And skilled in the post. He will only add to the rotation. Can guard smaller 4's on the perimeter and the smaller gimmicky centers. He will add lots of substance to the second unit.
 
There are literally fewer than 10 posters in this thread who aren't the equivalent of that 10 year old crying Knicks fan.
 
Trey Lyles was a need pick ,the jazz didnt need another SG ,they have Hood and Burks ,Jazz needed a 3rd big , I think he will be way better than Booker and will fit in good with Gobert and Favors

I think they would have taken the Kaminsky ,Turner ,or WCS there but they got taken and Lyles fit their need ,taking after a young Boozer is dam good for the jazz ,I remember how good Boozer was when he was young

I was hoping for Frank or myles because right now we still don't have a real center coming off the bench

Maybe we're buying out Tomic from his contract ;)


Otherwise we're ****ed, and need to sign one for this season before we turn Rudy's knee cartilage into dust

Didn't really like Lyles, but I like that the Jazz recognized they needed a legit 3rd big and one who has real skill offensively and definite potential to be a stretch 4. He didn't hit the 3 at Kentucky, but the shooting stroke is solid and he should improve without much problem. He's a versatile big man with good length and athleticism who can put it in the floor. Didn't show much at UK, but the natural ability is there and he fills a major need on the Jazz.

Why are some of you acting like we don't have a 3rd big who can stretch the defense?

Was Booker traded or something?
 
If he really is a non-undersized Boozer. I'll take it. I think Boozer would have been amazing next to a Gobert or Favors. Plus, the kid sounds intelligent and he is a "gym rat."

Unfortunately, I am worried that this might spell the end for Booker... whom I really really like coming off the bench.
