The incorporation of Lyles marks a change of strategy by the Real Madrid Sports Directorate, led by Sergio Rodríguez. Initially, the club was looking for a generator and scoring escort, having shown interest in players such as Lonnie Walker y Landry Shamet. However, the market opportunity represented by Lyles led the club to modify its plans.
The signing is part of one of the most active summers of Real Madrid in terms of incorporations, adding to the signings of Théo Maledon, David Krämer, Chuma Okeke, Izan Almansa y Gabriele Procida. This will be Lyles’s first European experience after a full decade in the NBA.

Your wing profile shows the shooter fits perfectly into the system of Sergio Scariolo, contributing the ability to open the field from the perimeter that the team needed after the march of Guerschon Yabusele.
With the arrival of Lyles, Real Madrid will have three extra -community players: Gabriel Deck, Chuma Okeke and Lyles himself. Since the ACB only allows you to register two extra -community members per party, this will force the coach to discard for each meeting.
The possible nationalization of Deck during the season could resolve this situation.
The signing of Lyles is the sixth incorporation of Real Madrid in this summer market, completing a workforce that aspires to be one of the most competitive in Europe. His arrival could not be the last, since the club maintains interest in Jordan Loyd as possible seventh reinforcement.
