    I disagree with that. Lyles fits way better next to Poeltl, both on offense and defense. He's also miles better offensively going against opposing benches and he makes energy plays, which is what you want from your subs to get some juice
    Don’t you think Gay fits better with Poetl offensively because of the amount of ball/shots both need? Rudy provides range but also play making it the second unit whilst Liles acts as a spot up shooter and offensive rebounder as starter. I think our offense is more balanced in both units with Gay coming off the bench.

    In the other end, Gay is one of the worst defensive players of the roster: slow away from the basket and forgetful and inattentive away from the ball (weak side, screens, transition defense). Liles at least is usually focused and executes well and he’s more agile as well.

    Liles did well rebounding as well. Yes he struggled against All-Star PF, but Rudy would do it as well...

    Rudy is not ideal as a starter that is true. But playing in an iso-offense with DeRozan and Aldridge usually results in one of those 3 having the mismatch. They were very efficient doing that last year, whoever had the mismatch got the ball in the post. Playing with Poeltl unleashes Lyles 3-point shooting cause Poeltl plays closer to the rim and Lyles can get open easier cause the bench plays more of a motion offense. Also him and Poeltl are both good offensive rebounders and the bench got more 3-point shooting than the starters. Lyles as a starter is literally the worst starting PF in the NBA.
    As I said starting Gay ain't ideal, but I prefer that. What's concerning to me is that his 3-point shooting has fallen off a cliff recently

    He's solid and Pop doesn't overuse him. If he's struggling with his offense, like he was yesterday, Pop has no problem going with Rudy or sliding DeRozan over to the 4. Some people are too hard on him, imo.

    After Forbes and Beli are gone the next upgrade needs to happen for Lyles and Rudy.

    worst starting PF in the league. Ok player, who you wouldn't mind to have on the team as a bench piece, but not good enough to be starting. Still miles better than Bryn Forbes

    Who doesn't people on this board on 24/7!?! Lyles is playing his role perfectly an getting better an better under Timmy. You can see his confidence growing as we get further and further into the season.

    I am not a fan of lyles, but he at least is solid and not the main problem of the spurs.

    Avg 5pt and 6reb at below avg % without giving any defensive stats. Yes, he is a problem.

    Name other players from another team that's a non superstar in his situation putting up better numbers. I'll wait.... He's playing more consistently than that 100 million dollar player Draymond green.

    Keyword former, and if you put Lyles on a court with Steph, Klay, and Durant, I bet he’d look like a world beater. It’s amazing how easy it is to score n the NBA when no one is paying any attention to you.

    I like Lyles, and I think he is improving - especially for a new guy to the team. ST is just impatient with him, although I admit I expected a little more progress.

    the lack of basketball knowledge on this forum is truly ridiculous. He was in the DPOY race last year, not 10 years ago

    I'm not saying he's bad or that I don't like him. I'm simply saying by NBA standards he's the worst starting PF in the league. If you look at the quality other teams got at that position, he should not be in the starting line up.
