Lyles

[MDAV28]

Kinda like boris diaw?

Boris Diaw, Josh McRoberts, etc with a higher ceiling probably. His career can go any direction, interested to see how it pans out.

Lyles was the last player I wanted.

Me too

You mean the first 15 games of his NBA career are not enough to accurately predict if he belongs?

Stunned...

I think people are pining for a rookie to show star potential for once. Lyles hasn't shown anything but role player potential. It's easy to see potential stars early on, even 15 games in.

Which is ridiculous.. The exact reason mediocrity is such a bad place to be is you very rarely draft "stars" in the late lottery. You're looking at borderline starters/role players at the spot when you go through previous drafts.

Ive been right about all Jazz draft picks so just ask me. He is a bench role player. Best case Lamar Odom type when lakers had they big 3 bigs and kobe.. Most likely he is a 7th or 8th guy off a bench. Sorry but its true. Check my track record

^^ Nothing like a Lamar Odom comparison to top off another terrible post..

There's not too many players like Lyles, at his size and age, not gonna say he's a special unique snowflake but there is a rarity to his game. Players with his skillset, of his quality don't tend to come along every year, Usually players with his skillset/acumen are more like 6'5-6'8" SF's.. Thats why he was always so highly rated - because it's difficult to miss a prospect like Trey Lyles when you look thru these amateurs enough, prototype PF size and ample skill will can get you a long way, and Lyles has always passed the eye test with flying colors as far as I'm concerned. I'm only encouraged by what I've seen from him so far on the Jazz. He hasn't been great, but I think he can be, if he steadily improves thru the years. Once his outside shot is $$$ he'll be very dangerous, and even off the bench could provide the team with a boost/different look.

My thought is that when the Jazz get healthy, Mr. Lyles needs to do some time with the Stampede.

Is lamar odom not tall and have those same qualities? I never said he was going be as good as LO just that is his ceiling.. He is overrated and got picked to high in draft IMO

This is pretty much why I wanted him more then anyone else assuming no one dropped, and no one did. Sometimes those specialty players take longer to develop. I don't want him in the DLEAGUE. Dleague is garbage.

I checked your track record as you requested.

Hayward:
....“isn't a starter on a good team. Just like ive always said”
....“mediocre”
....“a bench player at best”

Exum:
.....You started with “Will be the biggest bust in this draft”
.....Which morphed into “Jazz Board should look like this: Jabari, Gordon, Exum, Smart”

Does this mean you’ll claim you were right if Exum is a bust? And you would be right if Exum is worthy of the third pick ahead of Wiggins (who has “bust written all over him”)?

Also found several dozen quotes similar to “I have been right about every Jazz first round pick for years"

Damned that internet and the facts it stores for future reference.

So to recap, you don't think that a player who could be as good as Odom is worth the 14th pick? Got it.

IMO? Now wait, we've established that you are infallible when it comes to predicting Jazz draft picks -- to be clear, you have never been wrong. So there is no need for "opinions," since your brain contains certifiable facts about the future.
