10 yr vet minimum is about 3.5 million. That seems fair for Lyles (drafted 2015)

Well if Maxine is Lauri Lite and Nique is JDub JR we will be pretty good next year

I might be willing to go up to 5 million for VERY important reason. Lyles arguably only current player on the Kings proven enforcer. Every NBA team needs at least ONE tough hombre who won't back down when needed. Especially true with Kings "soft" reputation.

He apparently wanted to be an astrophysicist until basketball wound up becoming a viable path forward for him

Okay well that cements him having a roster spot. Pretty bold move for a 2nd rounder. On the other hand we don’t have much else.
Must be nice to be that smart and talented.

And he fits the 6 foot requirement for all the ladies out there.
Nice contract for us.

And on top of all of that he’s French.

I have a feeling this maybe the steal of the draft. For a guy that's only been playing for 5 years he doesn't have that tenative thinking about what to do look. His game has flow from the video's I've seen.
Also, he was a swimmer so his body and legs haven't taken a beating running on the court. Swimmers also have great cardio.

Outside of this one lone episode where Trey flipped out, I wouldn’t really think of him as an “enforcer”. I mean in general he’s a book loving nice guy.

I really don't want to play Eubanks/Lyles over Jones/Maxime. I don't think those players are better, I thought Jones earned every minute last year and more. If we don't add any real names, I really hope those 2 are getting burn day 1.
The bench is soo much more exciting than the starting lineup to me.
Carter/Monk - Keon - Nique - Jones - Maxime
I really want to see that group of 5 just give energy and hustle.

Lyles is definetly better than the others
At that pick range anyone that is a plus on the field for only 5 minutes is a steal.

I think I heard something about the Stanford Coaches were telling Maxime to avoid blocking shots. He was too important for his scoring to sit with foul trouble. Bot towards the end of the season they unleashed him and his BPG went way up.
Has anyone else heard this and can you provide stats?

He also said Stanford’s offense was inspired by the Kings sets from a couple years ago
