Yep.
My expectations for lyles are really low.... I hated that pick.
Having said that I like him and if he can be a good shooter then I think he will prove me wrong since he is a skilled ball handler and passer for his size/position/age.

If he contributes much this year then it's just icing on the cake.

I basically had zero expectations for him this year... looks like he can be serviceable at very least. His defense is what worries me most. I don't think he's confident with the three yet, so I'm okay with him attacking with the pump fake for now.

If Lyles can become a consistent 38%+ three-point shooter (especially from the top of the arc), then....... very nice. When open, I'd like to see him take that without hesitation. He's very good at attacking a closeout.

If last night is any indication, Lyles' feel for the game and skill level are terrific. Needs to add some strength.

Well we will get to see more since Booker is probably going to be suspended for a couple of games.
 
I was actually really thrilled by the Snyder decision to foul immediately when we were up three with less than ten seconds left. That ultimately ended up with the Lakers hurling an air-ball in the corner because they knew they had to rush the shot to avoid getting fouled and sent to the line for two.

Obviously there are risks inherent in the "foul fast" strategy but over a long period I suspect it will decrease the chances of game-tying hail mary threes as people learn that this is Snyder's preferred strategy.

Yeah, it's good for winning, but it's so boring. I wish there was some kind of rule that made intentionally fouling in that situation illegal(if game is within 3 points in final minute) to speed the game up and prevent FT shooting contest.

Little things like this are not something I ever remember Corbin doing.
