I saw a poll that Locke was doing on Facebook and thought I'd do it here. Given offensive and defensive ability/potential, who would you take over Favors? I didn't include old fogeys.

Meh, I'd rather just keep Favors now that I think about it. He's going to be a BEAST!
 
I was gonna say Kevin Love, but then I don't think he'd complement Kanter as well as Favors would...so I ended up choosing none.
 
None. Favors is a better defender than all of them already except Ibaka. He has a ways to go offensively but I'll take the chance he'll develop that part of his game.
 
Basically have to trade him for Love. Love is too good a player and Favors is still more potential than actual. Strangely, I'm almost at maybe with Griffin. Griffin will never be a great defensive player, but he's eventually going to average 25 plus (and look good doing it). Yeah, I'd swap him for Griffin. But I wouldn't trade him for anybody else on that list.
 
Between Love and Griffin.

Love is supremely talented offensively. He sucks at defense though and I don't really consider him a winner.

Griffin is another super talent on offense considering he averages 20 points on 55% shooting without a really refined offensive game. His defense is also good enough.

Favors is definitely better defensively than any of those dudes, but really lacks the scoring instincts they have.
 
None. I'd keep Favors. After seeing Duncan, KG, and Chandler you would think we would see the value of a defensive anchor.

If either Blake or Love were Pau and had his length you might have a case. But as Cy pointed out, Love isn't a winner. Andddd Blake will never be a good defender because of his. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1336330935.573396.jpg

Arms.

Call me a homer idc. You'll see :)
 
Got to choose none as well. Favors have shown me too much on the Defensive end to make me want give him up now. I think he's going to be a keeper for many years to come for the Jazz.
 
Favors is a keeper, even over Griff. The offensive strides made between year one and year two by Favors is pretty good. If he can make those same strides over the next two years, he will be as good or better then both Griffin and Love, because his defense is light years ahead of both those players.
 
I think we can all agree that Favors has the potential to be better than anyone on that list (or any post player in the NBA for that matter), so it all comes down to how much faith you have in his ability to actually reach that potential, or at least his relative potential. Personally, I have a lot of faith in him. I see him averaging 21/11/2 every year, while also being a regular on the all defensive team. I'm keeping this guy no matter what.

I don't know if he has the potential to be better than Love and Griffin. I think he has the potential to be a better all around player than those two, but I don't think he will ever be able to be a #1 option like those guys.

I think Griffin has the potential to be a top 10 PF ever and Love has the potential to be one of the best offensive PF's of all time. Both of them are natural scorers, Favors isn't.
 
I would trade him for Love, I would like to have Griffin but I don't think I could pull the trigger on that trade because he is as bad as Big Al on D and his offensive game is limited, Aldridge would be nice also but once again Favors is so much better on the defensive end and is really developing his offense, I think Ibaka is severely underrated and on a team where he wasn't the 4th option would be an All Star year in and year out. So I would trade him for Love, but at the rate he is developing I think he will be better than all others on that list, including Griffin. But I love the **** out of Ibaka.
