As the title says, Lyles led both teams, by far (over 12 points higher than 2nd) in +- at a whopping +29. Lyles comes from Madrid and has been heavily featured in the Wolves rotation to start the year.

He dropped 9 points and 6 rebounds on ³⁄₆ from the field en route to the win while playing very good defense and being a connector.

He’s been so good, speedrun for becoming one of Finch’s guys. He is also way more athletic than I thought he was

Does Finch have three hour practices?

Lyles has done everything asked of him and in most cases has even over-produced.

I don’t know how Tim Connelly is so damn good at finding fits like this. He’s had a few clunkers, sure, but damn it feels like we can go 12-men deep in a game if we need to.

It was really odd he was out the NBA last season, if you looked at his advanced numbers everything had him as a solid contributor, he must have really rubbed some teams off.

Trey Lyles is the good type of hustle guy, very controlled when he does the little things, not frantic or all over the place, truly a pro’s pro and 10 year vet.

But when he sky for the put-back dunk against the Rockets, I forgot he’s a 31 year old man LMAO

So weird that wolves fans keep saying this. They’re very different lol

Plants_R_Cool

Agreed. I mean I guess you could say they’re both kind of a do-it-all type player that isn’t especially great at anything.

But Kyle was more of a point forward role for us.

jimminmecrockets

they are both slow and smart, but their offensive play styles are not remotely the same

Sharcbait

11 | 14 hours ago

They are but they both have the air of “an adult on the court off the bench”

Let’s keep everything calm, no need to play knucklehead ball or hero ball. On defense let’s organize.

Huh I always got the impression Kyle was vocal and fiery. Trey seems more cool and low-key

Jonichu

That’s kinda how he kept the team calm though. By telling people to stop fucking around and listen

MOREPASTRAMIPLEASE

Like damn bro. Kyle was a point forward and fucking sucked ass at shoot and had seriously unconventional athleticism. Trey Lyle’s is a shooting forward and moves like the traditional nba athlete. They’re both 6’9 and lightskin and that’s where the similarities end

Jim Pete said it and the broadcast last night, too. Basically that Finch puts him in to calm down the offense in the same way he would Kyle

Traded some playmaking and arm length for shooting and athleticism.

he’s definitely athletic. had a super nice putback slam and tomahawk against the Pelicans. gets up really well for rebounds. he’s a good athlete fs.

Him faking the 3, watching the defender go by, thinking about shooting it and instead driving and yamming it the other night was glorious, Bones was hype lol

jimminmecrockets

I suppose he’s not a bad vertical athlete, but he looks like he’s moving through molasses on the ground, very poor lateral quickness and first step. He has great defensive anticipation though so he’s able to make up for it pretty well

He’s become a Finch favorite with good reason…just does all the little things right, plays his role and steadys the team

Just the other night I thought to myself, “dang he’s moving pretty good” only to find out he’s the same age as me.

Devastating to find out I’m “comeback 2nd nba stint after washing out to play in Europe” years old.

I was down on Lyles in the preseason but he has proved me wrong. Love what he has been bringing to the team.

According to him at least he only went to Europe because he made more than a minimum in the nba
