OHIO STATE ASSISTANT COACH GREG PAULUS TALKS NEXT STEP FOR BUCKEYES' POINT GUARD JAQUAN LYLE
Greg Paulus relates to JaQuan Lyle. While at Duke, Paulus experienced a lot of the same things Lyle did last season when he was Ohio State’s freshman point guard. Paulus has been there before.
It’s precisely why Paulus, now an assistant coach with the Buckeyes who just finished his fifth year in the program — the third as an assistant — since his playing days ended with the Blue Devils, flashed a smile when he was asked about the current Ohio State point guard who just wrapped up his freshman year.
The two have a unique relationship.
“It’s always difficult for a freshman point guard to come right in and have that opportunity,” Paulus said Wednesday. “You’re learning through the fire. I did it myself when I was down there at Duke in my first season, but the nice thing about when I had it was I had six seniors around me. [Lyle] was a guy that had a good year for us last year, is a guy that got better throughout the year and is a guy that is going to continue to get better as he progresses and matures through the game.
“It’s one thing that we do spend a lot of time together and we will continue to work and develop him not only on the court, but off the court as well.”

JAQUAN LYLE KNOWS HE MUST TAKE OVER OHIO STATE AT NEXT SEASON, A MINDSET CHRIS PAUL'S BASKETBALL CAMP HELPED ESTABLISH
JaQuan Lyle heard often from Thad Matta, Greg Paulus and the rest of Ohio State's coaching staff last season that the Buckeyes desperately needed him to take over games and be more consistent while they made a late push at a NCAA Tournament bid.
"Even last year, they wanted me to take that role but I didn't know how to," a noticeably slimmer and more toned Lyle said Wednesday at the Schottenstein Center.
Lyle was the lone player on Ohio State's roster last year who could beat his defender 1-on-1 and score consistently but dealt with peaks and valleys his freshman season. One night he scored 18 points, the next, two. Nine and two-point efforts followed a brief 45-point two-game spurt as Big Ten play picked up. It resulted in Lyle finishing fourth on his team in scoring at 11.2 points per game.
Lyle envisions that being different this winter, due in large part to what he learned last weekend at current Los Angeles Clipper Chris Paul's camp in North Carolina.
"I think now I got that year under my belt, I have a lot more experience and I know what to expect," Lyle said. "Coming in every day, I'm the point guard, I've gotta be ready on and off the court. I've gotta lead by example."

2016-17 SEASON PREVIEW: CAN OHIO STATE POINT GUARD JAQUAN LYLE TAKE THE LEAP?
Ohio State’s potential success this season largely hinges on the improvements made by its top-six returners.
There might not be a player more important to that group than point guard JaQuan Lyle.
Fair or unfair, that’s the reality of the situation. Lyle is the point guard on the floor, the leader, and his progression from Year 1 to Year 2 at the college level could go a long way in determining how successful the Buckeyes are this season.
“Him being the point guard, he’s the one who leads our team, he’s the floor general,” junior forward Jae’Sean Tate said. “We’re going to need him.”
Lyle looked like one of the Big Ten’s best players last season at times. But, like most freshman, he struggled with consistency. When Lyle played well, Ohio State usually found some success. When he wasn’t efficient, the Buckeyes struggled.
Ohio State coach Thad Matta said a lot of that stemmed from Lyle trying to make the big play every time as opposed to just keeping things simple. Then, if a mistake occurred, sometimes things began to have a snowball effect.
That happens with most freshmen, and especially with freshman point guards, and it’s something Matta hopes Lyle improved in the offseason. Matta likened it to a baseball player not trying to hit home runs every time and being OK with singles.
“I want him to be a calculated risk taker,” Matta said. “He’s a very talented individual and I think he understands the game of basketball, but for me, the biggest challenge with him is just the mental component of it and staying steady.”

Can Ohio State point guard Jaquan Lyle take the leap? Leap into what?
Two games against average (at best) D1 schools....33% fg, 4 ppg, 2 apg, 1.5 TO in 17.5 minutes. Not to mention, that three he hit against NC Central was a ridiculous show-off heave. It went in, yay.
What's the deal with Lyle? Is it a result of bouncing around high schools and the AAU-circuit and not learning team ball? Not playing a true position? Matta's coaching? I think I see some desire in there, I can't tell.

Ohio State men's basketball | JaQuan Lyle looks to build on strong performance
Since JaQuan Lyle’s arrival at Ohio State, it’s never been much about whether he’s talented enough to excel. By all accounts, even his own, the area where Lyle has needed growth most is between his ears, given that the point guard rode an inability to shake off mistakes into a sometimes-encouraging, sometimes-rocky freshman season.
So when Lyle was essentially a nonfactor in the first two wins of the season, it was a concern. When he broke out with 21 points Thursday in leading the Buckeyes to a resume-building home win against Providence, it was arguably the most encouraging sign they could have asked for.

Recent Sharp-shooter JaQuan Lyle is changing his game
Playing more under control and taking coaching is helping Buckeye point guard JaQuan Lyle become more dangerous from three-point range.
The Buckeyes played with toughness fans had rarely seen this year. The players put an emphasis on collecting rebounds. Perhaps most importantly, players made big shots. Specially, three-point shots.
Throughout the 2016-17 season, OSU has struggled from three-point range. The Scarlet and Gray have made just 33.3 percent of their long-range shots, ranking them 12th of 14 conference teams.
But against the Spartans, that number jumped to 43.5 percent, as Ohio State made 10-of-23 three pointers.
OSU's biggest contributor to the three-point success on the afternoon was point guard JaQuan Lyle.
The 36.4 percent three-point shooter was 5-of-7 from behind the arc, easily his best shooting night of the season.
"My teammates were getting me open because we talked about all week watching the film that (Michigan State) helps off the nail," Lyle explained postgame. "And I was just floating away and my teammates were finding me. If it wasn’t for them making shots then I wouldn’t have been able to make them myself."
Lyle being open is one thing, but taking, and then making, those shots is another matter.
There have been plenty of instances this season where Lyle has been open behind the arc and passed up the open look in order to drive to the basket or given the ball to a teammate. Sometimes it works out, but more often than not it's just an opportunity for three points missed for the Buckeyes.
"JaQuan can be a mystery at times," head coach Thad Matta said. "Sometimes he does (shoot) in practice, sometimes I have to tell him to stop shooting. Other times we’re like, 'Why won’t you shoot that?'"
Matta would like Lyle to take the open shots when they're available, but admits a players has to feel comfortable in order to knock them down. Against MSU, Lyle was feeling it.
"Here’s the biggest thing I think from his performance on Sunday," Matta said, "he had great rhythm to his shot, his feet were set, he had great push and they were really, really good shots. As long as he’s taking those, I’m perfectly fine with it."
Over his last three games, Lyle is shooting 64.3 percent from three-point range. So what has changed for the career 30.8 percent player from behind the arc? He credits new assistant coach, Chris Jent.
"Coach Jent’s been on us a lot lately," Lyle explained. "He's got a new rule... If you expect to shoot threes in the game, you have to make 70 before you leave (the gym)."
Getting more practice, especially with the man who taught LeBron James to shoot, while seeing the ball go in the net at least 70 times per day is yielding results.

Kevin Warren is an ass
It will be interesting to see what he does after this season is over. It is very difficult to read him. His playing time has gone down considerably and while Matta has said it is because of his ankle I just wonder. He certainly is not NBA talent and I am not sure if his game even translates into Euro ball. When he plays within himself, he is a pretty good college player but I think he is better suited to play the offguard and let Jackson be the primary PG. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
