I'm feeling this dude. He's not gonna do anything sexy, but he does come to play. I wanted Rudy to start over him at 1st, nut we need Rudy's scoring off the bench.

Lyles has exceeded expectations already and should continue to improve as the season wears on.

I didn't see any compe ive fire from him in any of the open runs I was watching this offseason so i'm definitely pleasantly surprised.
The dude is playing for his NBA career. I think that fact finally hit him. And for his production, we got him at a bargain
I like how he’s responded to the challenge (Europe or China could’ve been his next stint if it didn’t pan out). He was heavily recruited in high school at PF, but forced to play small forward with Kentucky already had multiple bigs. I think it allowed Trey to get even better with ballhandling and drive to the basket. I surely hope it continous, maybe we don’t need to trade for Aaron Gordon. I like what I’m seeing
no team in the NBA would start him, but of course Pop does
He may be playing for his NBA career, but he is showing no desperation or panic or fear of failure. He is playing very smoothly. I expect he will continue to improve as the season wears on and he gains more experience and comfort in the Spurs' system.
No one would have before, but he's kicking ass, and I'll bet 20+ teams would start him NOW. He's the prototypical modern day stretch 4.
Thanks for the article.
I’m definitely surprised by Lyles play and very impressed by his rebounding. Like you said he’s leading the team in rebounding at 8 per game and is doing it in only 20 minutes of play and has 4 double digit rebound games. LA is averaging 32 min and hasn’t recorded a single double digit rebounding game this season.
When he’s the bright spot, you know the team sucks lol
yeah he's kicking ass scoring 4.6 points per game
He’s shooting better and has adapted to fit in and do what’s required but his defensive numbers are boosted by rebounding. Any skilled big owns him tbh. Still much better than he looked early on when he didn’t want to shoot.
As soon as i saw that video of him praising Tim, i had a good feeling spurs could develop his game.
Yep he has been a good addition. It may get ugly at times when he guards good offensive PFs.
A little come back to earth moment.
WTF - I don't think he'd start for 2/3 of the league.
He's been a pleasant surprise in that he hasn't been completely horrible.
Aaron Gordon, PJ Tucker, Gallinari, Marcus Morris, Hayward, Anthony Davis, Siakam, Giannis, Kawhi, Blake Griffin, Al Horford, Sabonis, Taurean Prince, PJ Washington, Jabari Parker, Kevin Love, Markkanen, Saric, Horford, Kleber, Jaren Jackson, Draymond Green, Rui Hachimura, Covington, Millsap, Bjelica
That's 26 starting PFs who are better than him. And he's not really better than Meyers Leonard or Royce O'Neal either. So the only team besides the Spurs that would start him are the Portland Trail Blazers cause they are about to start Melo. He's one of the 2 worst starting PFs in the NBA and that doesn't even include bench players who are better than him, but somehow Spurs fans are in love with below average role players
I’m not jumping on this bandwagon, as stated above he might be the worst starting PF in the league. Only reason he starts for us is because he moves slightly faster then Rudy Gay on defense and that’s not saying much.
Lol looking good on arguably the worst team in the league
Looked pretty calm in the clutch tonight. Good sign
He's proven useful but still not worthy of being a starter on most playoff teams.
I like Lyles, I wish I could say the same for a lot of our other players
I seems to be able to jump well at the right moment to snag the rebound
He would be deep on the bench for any other team(especially a playoff team), but for the Spurs he starts...
