Trey Lyles: Scores six points in Nuggets debut

Lyles is currently in an open competition to be the Nuggets’ backup power
forward primarily with the likes of Kenneth Faried and Juan Hernangomez, and he
played four more minutes than Hernangomez off the bench Saturday while Faried
was held out of the contest. Both Lyles and Hernangomez, however, are likely
seen as better fits off the bench as stretch-fours in the Nuggets’ offensive
game plan and could end up splitting minutes to start the regular season as a
result.
