Tag: Trey Lyles

Sometimes I wonder if aliens came and abducted the real version of Trey Lyles, and, in the spirit of intergalactic hospitality, gave us a cloned version of him that was way better at basketball. Because Lyles really, really sucked in his second year, and now he’s legit good. It wouldn’t even be that hard for…

Even after Trey Lyles’ recent mini-slump, I’d like to register my support for him to win the Sixth Man of the Year award. I do this even though there’s probably a bunch of better candidates, and you know what, I’m fine with those other dudes winning. As long as it’s not Jamal Crawford. If that…

A Paul Millsap trade has gotta be in the works, right? I’m trying not to overreact to Trey Lyles’ emergence as a potent scoring force at the power forward position, but I can’t really stop myself once I get going. The thing is, Millsap’s on the wrong side of thirty (32 to be exact), he’s…

Just as I was about to start typing up this description my little furry kitty jumped up into my lap and started purring like a lawnmower. I’m super distracted right now, so if things are making less sense than usual, it’s because a full two-thirds of my processing power is devoted to giving Japurri Purrker…

REVENGE GAME ALERT. REVENGE GAME ALERT. TREY LYLES JUST HAD A REVENGE GAME AGAINST THE JIZZ. ALERT. I won’t say that the trade that sent Trey Lyles away to the Nuggets isn’t working out for them, because Donovan Mitchell is a beast, but I will say that the Jazz shouldn’t have given up on Lyles…

Trey Lyles is good now? He sucked so bad last year that I thought this year was a mirage for a while, but now I can’t deny the truth: Trey Lyles is good now. How he became good is anybody’s guess, if you care, my guess is that he had a box containing his jumpshot…

Time for a hot take. I don’t know how hot it actually is since I don’t pay as much attention to the Nuggets as I should, but I feel like it’s at least a take somewhere between “warm” and “sizzly”, if it’s not completely blazing hot. Here’s my hot take: Trey Lyles is a better…

After a semi-promising rookie season, Trey Lyles really sucked last year. Sucked so bad that I don’t blame the Nuggets for not playing him at all to start this year. Now he’s good. Weird how that happens with young players sometimes. They start off okay, then they suck, then they’re okay again. Or, they suck…

Take that, Jazz fans and the entire state of Utah! You don’t have Gordon Hayward anymore, but you also don’t have Trey Lyles anymore! These 25 points are sounding pretty good, huh? 25 points could’ve really helped as Don’thavenovalue Mitchell was building a castle out of bricks last game, yeah? You want a stretch-four who…

Trey Lyles, at this point, may be one of the most forgotten men in the NBA. Hardcore Canadian nationalists may still remember his existence, and Nuggets fans also, but that’s about it. He was anonymous even as the 12th pick in his rookie year, and he’s only gotten worse since then. It took Paul Millsap…
