BBallbreakdown: Favors is an average 'center' who is massively overpaid

[Jamezz]

This study is BS, they haven't taken into account factors such as potential or role in the team (plays against starters or against bench players mainly) etc..

So is the idea here that there are supposedly 14 centers in the league who are better than Derrick Favors?

There were only 6 centers that had a better real plus-minus than Favors last year.

Favors' PER was slightly better than Tyson Chandler, Nicola Vucevic, Marcin Gortat and Jonas Valanciunas, but I don't see them listed among "average" centers. Are those guys supposed to be "below average"?

stats are for geeks. Reality of Favors situation is he is getting paid off potential still. Now question is does he ever reah that potential to be an allstar or is he just the player he is? No shame in that.

What? LOL. Favors has one of the best contracts in the league based on production. That is the opposite of getting paid on potential. He's a better player than most of the all star big men in the L'eastern conference.

This is 100% certified organic bull S*!# I would love to see an example of another center doing what favors does on the same salary. As well as Booker. He adds value that a stat sheet doesn't calculate. That video wasted 5 minutes of my life that I can't get back.
