Utah Jazz Summer League Topic

As a Vegas local, I'm usually pretty excited to see something in person from the Jazz at the summer league. Not so much this year. Think I'll save money by staying home and just streaming the games instead.

I changed my mind. I will be there in full throat today! Lyles has been kicking ***, and yesterday's sudden death double OT was just too good (even though we lost).
 
He still seems have a slow release when he's wide open and can set his feet but that's fine. But as far as his release on a catch and shoot it seems to have gotten pretty crisp. One of the more impressive things about his improvement imo.
Seems to be putting more arch on his shot too.
 
How does his body look? Any more filled out or in shape? Any news of whether he's done P3 yet or will be doing it?
 
Here we go...

Holy **** balls... Lyles looks so fluid with that jumper. If he figures out how to be average defensively he might just wreck the damn league. It is so hard for a big guy to guard a guy that can drive as well as Trey does when he is hitting the above the break three. If you don't close out hard he gets the shot... you trap the PnR... he gets the shot. You close hard he goes around you.
 
Does anyone else like Butterfield? I can't tell if he's an NBA caliber player, but he has a pure shot and has a good feel for the game. He's also a surprisingly good rebounder. I feel like he rebounded better than Bolomboy and Pleiss in the Utah Summer League...
 
Pleiss can certainly shoot. If he played enough minutes he would probably be our best FT shooter.
