[1981 grad]

Went to watch Freeman and the 76ers were playing in summer league and next thing I hear is Amani Lyles for 2 on a nice spiin move.  He looks good in a sixer uniform.

Pretty cool that we have 4 former Zips playing ball in the NBA right now!

11 points and 2 rebounds in 14 minutes!

Lyles with 13 points and 3 rebounds in 12 minutes today. It will always be tough for him to make the NBA roster but he could be playing his way into a G League deal.

He's probably better off playing overseas. G-League players only make ~$50K unless on a two-way. He could probably make double that in Europe.

Isn't Enrique on a two-way ($600k/yr.)?

Yes, that's the two-way contract. Each team is allowed 3 of those. The rank and file G-League players (not on two-ways) make ~$50k.

Lyles got his first start of the summer and recorded 18 points and 6 rebounds in 27 minutes. Although he did have 5 turnovers.
