Biography
Brown on Lyles: “One of those ‘tweener’ players who will play at the three and four [position] because he has good leaping ability. He has to develop positionally, but we’re hoping he develops into a small forward. He’s small for a four. He’ll be like a garbage man for us, because he will score easy transition baskets with his hussle and his follow-ups. He has the quickness to play defense, and is good defensively, but can still improve.”
