tiny frame, big pressure, bench spark with real shot-making pop
In his 2021-22 Arkansas season, Chris Lykes was a high-energy guard who appeared in all 37 games, averaged 11.9 points, and led the Razorbacks in scoring three times while flashing a 26-point ceiling against Northern Iowa. His game is built on burst, shot creation, and toughness—he plays bigger than his 5-foot-7 frame and brings instant offense off the bench. The flip side: a history of injury trouble, including a serious ankle issue at Miami, means durability is part of the evaluation. If a team wants fearless scoring and chaos, he’s intriguing; if it needs size and steadiness, the fit is trickier.
