Too suddenly, I decided to leave the NBA! The only two people in the super golden generation

When we are still paying attention to the signing trends of Kumingga and Westbrook, there are actually some powerful players in the NBA who have not found their next player.

And as the training camp gradually approached, European clubs also gradually began to attack them.

Trey Lyles, who was still able to rotate with the Kings last season, has been revealed to have decided to play in Europe.

According to European media encestado.es, Trey Lyles has decided to sign Real Madrid to end his 10-year NBA career.

This guy actually has a team in the NBA.

However, according to the agent, he said that instead of staying in the NBA with a basic salary, he would rather go to the overseas league.

In 69 games played for the Kings in 2024-25 season, Lyles averaged 19.6 minutes per game, scoring 6.5 points and 4.6 rebounds. He is still a rotational player in the Kings.

Lyles is not a scoring player, but his average output is relatively stable. Although he has only had one season in the NBA, his three-point shooting percentage is stable at 35%. In addition to scoring, his rebounding rate (including offensive boards + defensive boards) has always been in the top 50% of the league's same position.

is a very useful engineer.

A few days ago, it was revealed that the Heat hoped that he could take over Love, who had played for several years, and the Heat believed that if Lyles came to the team, he could get in seamlessly.

Unexpectedly, after two days of this rumor, Lyles went straight to Europe.

Of course, now NBA players signing in Europe actually contains a lot of escape terms. For example, Lonnie Walker, who had just signed Maccabee, had escape terms in the contract, and if you want to go back to the United States, you can go back at any time.

Many fans may have forgotten that Lyles, who has no highlights in his career, is actually from a member of the 2014 Kentucky team known as the top talented team in NCAA.

The 2014 Kentucky enrollment was extremely successful that year, and a large number of first-year geniuses were selected by them. In addition to Lyles, five-star high school students such as Towns and Booker were selected together.

They also had a very successful season, entered the NCAA March Championship with an amazing regular season win record, and lost 1 game throughout the season - in the end, they lost to Wisconsin in the semi-finals.

At that time, 7 people from Kentucky announced their run for the 2015 NBA. In the end, a total of 6 players were selected to set a record of being selected in a single school at that time.

In addition, four players selected in the lottery area, including the No. 1 pick, Willie Cowlisten, the No. 6 pick, Lyles, and Booker, the 13th pick, tied the record of the largest number of players selected in the lottery area in a single school (University of North Carolina, 2005).

In addition to these 4 lottery picks, Andrew Harrison, Allen Harrison brothers, and Dhakari Johnson were selected after being second or lost, and the 7 players in the NBA in a single class are also a record.

Including Taylor Eulers, who was selected in 2016 and another undrafted Lex Perthres, this 14-15 main Kentucky team has only one player in the NBA rotation. It is indeed a strong player.

Of course, time flies. With Lyles leaving Real Madrid, only these nine professional players are still in the NBA.
