Trey Lyles concerns

Curious if you actually saw him play or just clips of highlights?

Is he a chucker? No, he's a playmaker and facilitator. Could stand to be more assertive like his last game.

Will his pump fake translate? Yes, he's going to be taking 4s out to the perimeter where he is faster and they are not comfortable. Initially he'll get some bites, then defenders will learn. If his shot proves to be consistent and a threat, the he will continue to get those on defenders who lay off too much, otherwise he'll drive right by them.

Shot selection? He's 19. That will get better with coaching.

Not to mention he might shine as a play maker with some real talent next to him rather then super-summer league players.
 
He's already pretty savvy in selling those fakes.. I mean that's pretty advance. Also in our team only Hayward and Burks are really elite at doing that. Favors for all his talent is not even doing that consistently ATM.

Favors does not have jump shot. Why could he sell?

NBA is players much better than summer league. I remember when James Donnelly went off for like 30 points every game and people were compare to Kobe. He never even makes NBA team.

He shot like 20% from college 3. 1 game does not make a trend.
 
I was a bit worried about his athleticism, but he kind of surprised me last game. He got up on a couple of put backs, made some good defensive movements, and showed more body control.

I don't see him being a lights out 3 point shooter, but a serviceable one. I do think he will develop a go to mid range game.
 
Dear Mrs. JAZZGASM,

Kindly log out of your husband's account and keep your marital issues between the two of you.

Sincerely,

Sorry, but every year around this time Mr. Jazzgasm has premature edraftulation ever since Burke was drafted. Hopefully this season is exciting enough for multiple jazzgasms.
 
I wish we can find some one else. I can't drink the Jazz DNAid yet. Its not right. I can only see one game where he shows more than dribble and balance talents. YOU CANT FOOL ME DL!! Maybe he can show me he shoots more than 30% other than that he is Kyle anderson? Maybe not so slow but sucks and everything he sucks at really. Its true.

"If his shot proves to be consistent..."

"If" implies a degree of uncertainty or doubt. I believe he could improve his shot, I also know that is possible he never will. I know that his current shot is flat and has mechanical problems. I also know we have good coaches. Time will tell. He's still very smooth with the ball and quicker than other 4's, and he is still going to take them out to the perimeter. He spends more time out there than he does inside, kind of hope that changes soon actually. Opposing 4's will either dare him to shoot, or challenge him. If they come out on him, he's going to be faster.
 
He played like zero games at his natural position in college.
Why does that matter in regard to his three point shooting?

If Ray Allen was playing power forward or center he would still be a good three point shooter.
If shaq was playing the wing or point guard he would still be a poor three point shooter.
 
If you guys are so concerned with Trey Lyles, maybe you should take a look at the mirror. Every morning, every night, you go to your internet browser. The pale glow illuminates your pasty drooping double chin. And where do you go? You know where you go. All of you, you know where you go.

I'm a longtime lurker and a very infrequent poster. And I gotta say this Craig K. Manscill is one of the better experiments in trolling I've seen. I'm kind of a fan. And Craig if you're reading this I'm not too much of a fan, because I know how you types are and your end goal is attention and I don't want you to think your shtick is something people want to see 24/7... cause then you guys just get farking annoying. But in small doses, good work.
