Lyles....

Rather seem him come off the bench and start poeltl with Aldridge tbh

Jakob's defense is obviously better, but he doesn't fit in the starting lineup because he doesn't stretch the floor and isn't quick enough to guard the stretch 4s as well as Lyles does. Not saying Lyles is some defensive stopper, but he's a little better at guarding those 4s who can shoot and drive. Poetl is a great rim protector though and I wish the starting lineup had someone to protect the rim the way he does, but unfortunately the Spurs don't.

Lyles has some tools to be a effective stretch 4/5. Not a bad job by PATFO taking a flyer on him.

He allowed Kobe to score 80, and for this he must never be forgiven.
