Lyons just didn't play like a power forward at Missouri. He was more of a perimeter-oriented finesse player.

I think his NBA chances hinge on playing small forward. He has the midrange shot, and he handles the ball pretty well for someone his size. He'd have to work on his defense though.

IMO he has the talent to play in the NBA, if he can figure out how to play up to his natural abilities. As a Missouri fan, I'm hoping he makes it in the league.


I didn't think he was very finesse in his senior season. He still reverted back to relying on his jump shot every now and then, but it wasn't anything like the previous years.

His fouls drawn per 40 was only below Blake Griffin's. He attacked the rim a lot, he just doesn't have any kind of post game. I think he needs to develop one to stick in the NBA.

Regardless, I'm hoping he catches on somewhere.

Has McRoberts signed yet? I find it kind of weird he's playing on the summer league team without a contract.

Uh, I hope to God that others do.


I always want Pacers players to "become a good [insert position here] in this league". That means the team is better. Honestly, if you don't want them to be a good player, you're wishing a lack of success on the franchise. That's just odd. I'm not saying it doesn't make you a fan, but rather, it's just odd.



id love it if he could produce solid Murphy-like numbers with more attitude. im not to worried about his height, it almost seems teams are getting by with smaller, athletic line-ups anyway.

Nope, but he's been offered the qualifying offer and is in negotiations with the team, so I believe that means he can basically play in summer league.
