The second year forward out of Syracuse was the No. 24 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft by the Utah Jazz but was sent to the Denver Nuggets in the deal that sent Donovan Mitchell to Utah.

The 23-year-old has played in just 26 games in his career, 25 of which being last season. In the 2018-19 season, Lydon averaged 0.9 points and 0.7 rebounds per game averaging less that four minutes per game.
