Lyles is the pick at 12

[Maneesh]

It's weird trying to defend this pick since I would have rather seen the Jazz draft about 5-6 other players before Lyles.

Still, is it possible to see how he performs in a season before the guy gets crucified here?

Can you imagine the knicks take him like they said once before? waaaaaaah?? serious bad things probably happen. Trey L might be the only player projected top 15 who no one(fan) on any team really wanted, but GMs seem to like. who knows.

Lindsey seems to think Lyles can be our Draymond Green.

Locke mentioned in his interview tonight with Lyles that he hit 25 of 40 corner 3's during his workout in Utah. This kid is intriguing enough that maybe those freaking the hell out should calm down for just a sec.

I think Lyles will be a guy who can initiate and make good decisions with the ball in his hands. His passing looks a bit underrated. It's not quite a direct comp, but I think Lyles can play a role similar to that of Greg Monroe. He's *almost* the same size as Monroe, but is quicker and more fluid. He plays more as a forward facing up and just has a knack for making plays.

The pundits are saying we should have taken Booker, but I think Lyles will go down as an underrated pick. That's a solid pick at #12. I don't think he busts. He's too smart and versatile.

Lyles seems to have a pretty basketball savvy dad.

Seems like a solid pick at #12, personally preferred Booker but that's about it. We were hoping for somebody to drop and nobody did, oh well. More than a little bummed we didn't use one of our later picks to grab Mam, I suppose the off-season isn't over and who knows what we'll do next.

Trey Lyles was a need pick ,

No way. Utah needed shooting and a backup 5 or stretch big. He fills none of those, no matter how nice people think his form looks. Lyles was an upside pick who is likely several years away from contributing much, which is fine, but he wasn't a need pick.

I'm convinced Lyles is a stoner.

"What would you be doing if you weren't in the NBA"

Lyles: "Making pizzas"

What was the reaction at ESA ?

Prior to the selection, Boler asked about Booker, everybody cheered. Asked about Oubre, cheers, but less than Booker. Asked about Lyles, near silence. After the pick was made, just seemed like stunned silence, like WTF?!
