A.) There's a lot of talent there - especially shooting the ball. .

Huh?
In college he shot a horrible percentage, last night he didn't shoot a good percentage, I think he was even bad from the line last night.... Plus he was clanking shots in warm-up.

Imo where he looked good was his ball handling, size and way he moves, and a couple of nice passes.

Looked like a poor shooter and rebounder but good passer and ball handler

You can tell he is a Kobe fan with the pump fake with the purpose to draw a foul.

Or he lacks the confidence to just take and make the open shot he was given

Over the course of his career he's been known to be a good shooter and having a nice arsenal of offensive skills... but I agree with your assessment pretty much.
 
Pretty sure Lyles was one of the best off the dribble mid-range shooters in college last year, which leads me to believe the talks of his balance being a worry are bunk.

I would be curious about this.
I remember seeing a stat that he shot like 37% from mid range (like 10-18 feet I think it was).
Maybe he was really good at off the dribble mid range shots but just didn't take nearly as many of them as he did catch and shoot set mid range shots.

He shot poorly in catch and shoot, pretty sure he was at, or possibly above 50% on off the dribble midrange shots.
 
However, he did knock down 28 of his 58 jumpers inside the arc (48.3 percent).

Shot terrible from deep though. That makes sense because his shot is flat. Flat shots have trouble extending range. Has to put more arc on it.

Starting at 3:00 you can see some jump shots.

All I see is good balance.
 
I'm growing more and more to like this kid, he seems like a very smart player. Some of those passes were way legit, and he had the smarts to get fouled. Give it time and we will be looking back and saying the Jazz grabbed the right player in the draft
