Strengths
Good size, great length and decent athletics
Able to create his own shot and get others involved
Good face up game which is how he likes to operate as opposed to having his back to the basket.
Above average ball handler and passer for a big man
Good to great basketball IQ
Weaknesses
Average jumper
Not a rim protector
Has ways to go defensively, even though he has the size to be decent there
Needs to add weight if he wants to bang night in and night out in the post
Lacks experience as played behind Towns most of his time in college
Overall Stamina could be a question
Notes
Lyles is a player who could be a very good stretch 4. Some compare him to carlos boozer in terms of how he plays facing the basket but unlike boozer, lyles has much deeper range, better length and size and a much better upside on defense. IMO he is more like a Lamar Odom with the range, length and ability to score. Coming into Ultimate he is likely more of a project, but unlike a lot of bigs in this draft he could be a stretch four that could also rebound. Won't be an elite player but could be a solid starter and key rotation piece depending on the team and system.
