Lyles

[Miggs]

Without looking up box scores and without even commenting on his defensive impact, or lack thereof, I think we have to admit the kid has improved a lot the last couple weeks. He's rebounding and starting to hit some buckets. Not bad for a 19 year old who played one year off the bench for Kentucky, sort of out of position.

In short, I like the progress and potential I see. He needs to work on his body (and can, look at Hayward) and with that and experience, his defense should vastly improve. So yeah, I've bought in.

He still looks like *** when he plays with Booker. I think it's less improvement and more playing with Hayward/Favors more.

I agree. He looks somewhat like an nba player recently.... Which is a huge improvement

Anyone who was expecting a major impact this year is crazy. Lyles will be a stud in the league once he gets physically stronger. I have a feeling we'll see a huge jump in his game next season as he combines added strength with the experiences he's undergone in practice and in games this year. He is tailor-made for Coach Snyder's system.

Can't wait for his floor game to develop. Looks to me that at the very least he will be an adequate adequate 3pt shooter with a good midrange game. I was one of if not the only jazfanzer that actually wanted Lyles. I am encouraged by the improvement from the beginning of the season to now.

In the NBA, he doesn't look like an NBA player. During summer ball, you could tell he was the best one on the court and there was a reason he was drafted. Funny how that works.

His rebounding has been pretty good in the past 5 or so games. He's developed pretty good timing in getting them, which IMO is the most important "skill" (perhaps it's more of an art) in rebounding.

And let's us not forget how bad Hayward, and Favors looked their rookie years.... Crazy to see how far they've come.

He has improved and really has a good foundation for his game. Seems like he can be one of those guys who is good at everything (defense is the biggest question) but not really great at anything. That's not a knock on him though, players like that are very valuable.

Neto is looking better too, shooting 0.477% over last 10 games. Last game he played like an all star for several minutes, steal, passes, shooting. And remember he is a rookie as well.

This is what gives me hope... Hayward was really pretty awful the first part of his rookie year. Didn't look like much of a player.
