• Podcast Locked On Kings host · Prediction · Oct 14 around the league

  Host view: Cardwell might return sooner than two weeks, but it's also possible he's out three to four weeks. He compares it to a calf strain Trey Lyles had a couple of seasons ago, which the host thinks cost Lyles over a month.

  • Trey Lyles was the 9th man and Bones Hyland the 10th, matching the host's projection. at 3:54
  • Lyles played with Gobert more than in earlier games, mostly because of foul trouble for Joan Beringer. at 4:20
  • Joan Beringer had two personal fouls in his first four minutes and was pulled in the first half. Host thinks Lyles also played some minutes at center, not the best matchup for that. at 21:59
  • Detroit scored 64 paint points (host first said 62, then corrected himself). Host blames the perimeter defense more than the bigs, who he says protected the paint pretty well. at 21:29

• Podcast Ben Beecken, Locked On Wolves · Analysis · Oct 14

  The host says Trey Lyles will be in the rotation mainly as a four. He calls Lyles probably the third-string center and also the second-string power forward.

• Podcast Locked On Wolves · 2 points · Oct 13
  • Ben Beecken: Host concern: the frontcourt is not deep. After Beringer, Gobert and Lyles there is not much. Backup center is a possible concern, and Cody Williams would ostensibly be the backup four. at 10:19
  • Ben Beecken: The host's own hunch: the staff is pairing Trey Lyles with Joan Beringer as much as possible because of Beringer's defensive rebounding shortcomings, and Lyles adds floor spacing. at 13:44
