No Favors or Kanter ???
I doubt Blake Griffin plays in this, so that could open up a spot for Favors.
For everyones convenience.....

Tristan over Kanter is pathetic.
Markieff Morris, and his sub .400 shooting, over Kanter is even worse.Tristan over Kanter is pathetic.

I'm gonna guess Shaq drafted the rookies because he's a complete and utter moron.
I still think Favors was the better choice, presuming it came down to either him or Tiago. Blake Griffin is the only power forward on that roster, and Favors is a way better pf than Splitter, imo. Sure, Splitters averaging a point more off of better shooting percentages (this season), but Derrick is out boarding him, MUCH better on defend, and is playing less minutes. Plus, Favors career numbers are much more impressive. He was on the ****ing All-Rookie 2nd team for crying out loud.
I think they just didn't want to put two jazz players on the roster; can't think of any other reasons.
