This is why drafting Myles Turner is a bad idea. Lyles would be better
que?
I assume hes alluding to the mobility issues of Turner and how he wont be able to hedge guys on the perimeter.
I dont love Lyles because from what Ive seen he thinks hes a two gaurd and I do like Turner because I think he gives us shot blocking and an interrior presence and can also contribute to our space and pace offense with his good jumper.
That being said, I had not considered this aspect of his game or anyones for that matter.
well it needs to be considered. We need to try to draft the best available talent that will be there to finish games.
Turner might some games but for alot games will be on the bench like Zeller. Zeller is more mobile and he still sits on the bench in the 4th.
Lyles , Harrell and even Jarell Martin will be able to replace Bass and or play late in games bc of their "fit" under CBS system
I absolutely agree that it needs to be considered but Id rather have toughness, rebounding and shot blocking than the ability to switch on pick and roll. Lyles from what Ive seen thinks hes a 2 guard. That being said, I havent seen much of either of them. I pretty much dont watch Kentucky games and Turner played pretty limited minutes. My concern with Lyles is that he is another soft 4 who is bad at defense (according to the scouting reports Ive seen, which are largely outdated, this could well not be the case any more). Adding another one of those seems like a lateral move unless he has proven himself to be better than the soft stretch 4s we have right now (Kevin Love)
Lyles is closer to KO than is to a Ibaka for example
Not sure if he thinks he is a 2 guard but lately has been playing as a SF and has been doing a decent job. He is skilled for his height and has a 7'3 wingspan that can only help with rebounding/altering shots. But yeah he is not that "rim" protector we could add
Harrell is like a slightly taller/stronger/longer wingspan/reach Crowder. Doesn't bring alot of skills to the table but can guard multiple positions, above the rim guy that is a capable shot blocker
Turner imo would be a better fit for a team that likes to play half court/triangle offense.
CBS is here to stay and he is not going to alter his system bc of Turner. He is not going to alter the system for anyone chosen around 13-15. So the pick has to adapt to the system/fit the system(ideal). Alter the system for a guy like Okafor yes, not Turner
