Favors

[Saint Cy of JFC]

The consistent injuries with Favors is not even the thing that gets to me. When he came back from injury this year, he looked like he put on a ton of weight and looked out of shape. It appears he didn't even take care of himself while he was out. Now we have a much more lengthy process to work him back into the offense and defense rotation. We went from having a guy that we couild count on, to a guy that we have to recondition before even introducing the new offense.

He lost a ton of weight this year.

Tony Jones says Favors will definitely be back for the playoffs, and might see a few games before that, too.

I've never seen an athletic big like Favors fall off a cliff athletically at age 25, due to "nagging injuries". It's been a year since it started and I don't think he'll ever get back to where he was.

I've never seen someone's jump shot turn to **** so fast as Lyle's. Even in summer league this year his shot looked beautiful and confident and now I don't expect his shots to go in, I am surprised when's it's close now. That said his ball handle and a lot of his moves are still really good for a big man. If he can get his shot and ability to finish at the rim going he will be a great offensive player. I have hopes for him but I have tempered my expectations. Im not sure if he will be a starter in this league or not but I think if his shot becomes consistent (which might not happen) he will be a good sub maybe even 6th man material as a burst of offense. Jazz could have really used him this year. Im hoping his poor shot is a product of growing pains. It can be hard to keep a consistent shot when he is working on so m things including his body. Im hoping the game is simply moving to fast for him right now and he is over thinking everything. Hopefully he can work hard and get some momentum next year.

I've been saying all year, someone has got to put out an APB for Lyles shooting touch. His regression is one of the stranger things I think I have ever seen with a young player.

Lyles is a poor passer to, had to throw that out there turns the ball over easy, if we didnt have him on a cheap deal.... maybe he gets his shot back and shoots 40pct from 3 then everything is gravy he has some time to show us

I've given up on Lyles which I know is wrong of me to do.

He is a bad defender and rebounder. The only thing he might get better at is his offensive.
He could break out as an offensive player down the road, but he doesnt do enough positive things on the court right now.
