About J’Lon
Expert Analysis
Aaron Proia | Prep Hoops Scout
-Lyons played progressively better and better each day throughout his first USA JNT Minicamp experience as he settled into a hyper-competitive environment. Lyons got downhill and hit touch shots off of either leg, showed that he can hit shots off the bounce from beyond the arc, showed his speed and bounce in the open court as a dynamic athlete that can run the fastbreak or run the wing, and had active hands defensively to force turnovers both on and off the ball. After playing in a high school context alongside his brother in a 2-point guard offense for most of the last 3 seasons, I think scouts outside the DMV will see his play-making acumen as a cerebral point guard that uses his scoring gravity to execute designed reads. But he will still bring that ability to attack closeouts on second-side/ side PnR actions as an off-ball guard that will demand defensive attention. Excited to see how he is utilized within TTO’s system at both ends of the floor, as he has untapped potential as a disruptive free safety defender off the ball that can serve as a one-man fastbreak heading the opposite direction.
