Favors finally arrived?

In all his career Derrick never put together three 20-point games in a row. He did against IND, CHI and OKC. Then he put 15 and 7 in only 18 minutes against Houston (no doubts would have reached 20 had he played his usual 30+ minutes). Finally, 22 points today. Oh, and did I mentioned that in all but the Houston game he grabbed at least 10 rebounds? He is confident and aggressive on the court. And plays a very solid defense.

I know I got my hopes high too many times before but this stretch is the strongest evidence to date that Favors is about to fulfill his potential and is ready to become a reliable 20-10 big. Please make it happen, Derrick.
 
All srs-ness doe, it's Favor's way of telling DL he liks playing w/ Gobert and hates Kanter.
 
His jump shot is by far the biggest improvement in his game. His defense has been there. He has been able to finish at the rim at a high level for awhile. He has had a jump shot but no confidence behind it. He is confident and hitting it at a high percentage. The rest of his game comes easier when defenders have to respect his mid range J.
 
So has Hayward but we still blow. This season has been tough to watch. Exum looks like he needed a few years of playing in the NCAA. Trey is still a mystery to me - and I know most have already soured on him and wish to see him go. Bottom line is we need a consistently productive point guard for us to reap the benefits of Favors' arrival as it were.
 
Gotta keep the wristband look. It's uber cool. This team needs more swag like that ish.
 
he looks confident. his moves are great. we need a guard tho.... can exum become that?

Pick and Roll Favors with Hayward every time down the court. Those two need to practice pick in roll non stop until its unstoppable in the playoffs next year or the year after. Although we need someone to spot up at three outside of these two and hit it with good consistency.

Definitely need a team wide upgrade on swag. Need to trade for OPjr. He wears glasses when he plays. OG swag.

Glasses are for the geese.

Me thinks Rudy needs some high socks. Burks needs a headband tbh.
 
I'd like to see more P&R between Burke/Exum and Gobert and then also Hayward and Favors. Make it so you can run P&R from anywhere with anybody. Then have whoever the SG is sit on the line and be a sharpshooter from downtown. The future starting lineup is going to be Gobert, Favors, Hayward and hopefully Exum (if he can make a huge jump mentally and physically.) Not sure if Burks is the other starter, but he might end up being the best option.
