2015 NBA Draft: Trey Lyles (PF; Fr; Kentucky)
2. Trey Lyles
Latest Rumors: CHARLOTTE
Power Forward / 6-10 / Kentucky / Freshman 8.5 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 1.1 apg
Lyles is a very smooth big man with excellent mid-range shooting and great length (7-foot-2 wingspan). He came into Lexington in tremendous condition and had a very solid season in limited minutes. It's possible that he was hidden to some degree within Kentucky's talented roster. He struggled for minutes and at times got lost in the shuffle with the hype surrounding teammates Karl Anthony-Towns and Willie Cauley-Stein, granted, that's what he signed up for. We are in the minority with this opinion, but we feel his upside is greater than Cauley-Stein's and he'll ultimately surpass him by the time the draft rolls around. Lyles needs to get tougher and learn to handle contact better, but was considered one of the premiere recruits in his class. His versatility (foot speed) to defend wings on the perimeter, create off the dribble and play some SF in the league only adds to his intrigue. He may take some time to become an NBA contributor, but with his shooting touch and length, his upside is considerable.

A five-star recruit out of Indianapolis’ Arsenal Tech, Trey Lyles has been in the spotlight even before joining Kentucky’s loaded roster. After popping in and out of the Wildcats’ starting lineup through the season, the 6-foot-10 forward started each game of the SEC and NCAA tournaments, averaging 10.1 points and 5.9 rebounds. Despite averaging 23.0 minutes per game, Lyles helped strengthen Kentucky’s defense by ranking third in the SEC in defensive rating (86.3) and seventh in defensive win shares (2.3).
