Anybody know anything about this Lyde cat? It's too bad Jerry is in love with Collins because it looks like the Jazz have other, younger, better options. Even Fes looks better than Collins.

I hope Kosta and Carlos come back a 100%, cause this team needs there presence. For those who looked at the box score, did you see how few rebounds Paul Millsap had , I mean come on he suppose to haul in those rebounds. I know it's just preseason but he has got to do better than that. Carlos would have gotten close to double figures rebounds. Fess got more rebounds than Paul did and that is embarrasing.

Lyde is only in camp because he is on the NBDL team. He's got all the talent in the world but has never been able to shed the lbs. He's 29 years old and will never be anything more than a 10 day contract in the NBA. He's only in camp because he's on the Jazz's NBDL team. Sad thing is that he actually outplayed Fez all year last year in the NBDL if he'd ever gotten in great shape he may have had a chance.

Lyde is in great shape right and is only 28 years old. He is not on the Jazz d league , he played for the North Dakota Wizard. I wish him the best

Actually Dapper Lyde didn't outplay Fez, if you recall Fez made the All Star team even though he split time with Lyde. You can't judge by how many points were scored as Fez didn't look to shoot anywhere near as much as Lyde, but Fez is a lot better passer and rebounder.

Too bad Fez didn't come into camp in great shape and try to get on Sloan's good side, he may have slipped behind Kufos on the depth chart because of work ethics. He has great potential if he will get serious.
