My apologies to Trey Lyles

There was maybe 3-5 people who were happy with the pick, so a lot of people are "eating crow". Let's not act like the OP was the only one who was underwhelmed with the pick and doubted Lyles.

I recall only AB and myself liking Lyles. Can't remember if Lyles was the guy PG Want Ed the Jazz to draft.

This is harsh. Props to ST for manning up and owning up. I'd say it would be nice to see Hack do the same but we all know that will never happen.
 
So with him and Withey, we have four solid bigs. What do we need then, other than to get healthy?

Because Lyles was such a great shooter in college, right?

I'm totally with you in being underwhelmed with a pick-- but I mean give the Jazz at LEAST 1-2 years before we crucify them on a pick. Otherwise, look at how it leaves us feeling. Like ****ing morons.


These dudes are professionals, and have watched more film on Lyles than this entire board put together. Given their drafting record since DL joined I think the LEAST we can offer our FO is some patience with their picks.
 
What a bonus he is becoming this season. I had no real opinion when he was drafted, trusted DL, but I sure did not expect this kind of performance this season. And he is such a different big for us, can hit the 3 and put the ball on the floor. He looks like another solid, very solid, piece.

Question: assuming he can keep this up (over time), is he a better fit with Gobert than Favors? He plays outside while Gobert is inside. Could he make Favors expendable/tradeable?
 
Call me crazy, but I see Tim Duncan-type finesse in Lyles' game and based on what I've seen in the last four games I would trade anyone on the team except for Rudy before trading Trey.

Gobert, Favors and Lyles can all get 32 minutes a game with Withey playing situationally. Favors would have to play half his time at center though.
