Trey Lyles has bounced around the NBA ever since entering it after one season at Kentucky. But his last 30 days in Detroit may be the best stretch of the 26-year-old forward’s career.
How he got here
Lyles was drafted by Utah with the 12th pick in the 2015 NBA Draft following his year in Lexington, just one spot ahead of Devin Booker, who went to the Phoenix Suns. After two years serving as a reserve for the Jazz, he was shipped to Denver in a deal that sent the Nuggets’ first-round draft pick back to Utah.
