Trey Lyles Highlights from Last Night #1

[The Midnight]

How many minutes did he play?

21 min., and had a +/- of +15.

 

[The Midnight]

His best move of the night was the traveling call drive. I'm not sure what constitutes traveling in the NBA these days, but I see that play not called 95% of the time in real games

Good point.

I like what I saw as well. Not a rim protector or monster rebounder but he still looks thin. In a few years he could be very good.

Posted this in the Game Thread but thought it might be relevant here:

Reporter: "Did you get lost out there at all with limited practice?"

Lyles: "Not at all, I picked the plays up pretty quick".

That's some nice confidence from the young man. Tells me he has basketball IQ galore picks up things pretty quickly.


PKM - can you confirm? Or is he simply pulling our legs?

And didn't board.

FIFY.

Shoots that shot off balance a lot. Is that normal for him? If so he'll have a very hard time making that shot in a real NBA game.

well the Jazz said he had the best balance through workouts of any player that they brought in for workouts.

And doesn't board.

19.

he also seemed like he wasn't going full speed, unless that's just him. Sorta seemed like he didn't care a whole lot to be out there, tbh.

Balance on a shot and balance in general are two very different things. What Log is talking about is how he didn't square up his shot all the time. It's very correctable.

That, but my first response to Log would be "one game"

I thought he looked good overall. He kind of floats on his jumper, but I think that's an easy fix. I was impressed how he could draw fouls. That first drive was sweet and that won't get called in the regular season. I was always impressed how he could drive when he was at Kentucky. He definitely needs to gain some muscle, but he's only 19, another easy fix.
