I think the people trashing Favors genuinely don't understand how impactful of a defender Gobert is, and how not-great our non-Conley guard defenders are.

Last year, it was turnstyle city when Gobert was on the bench. We all thought Tony Bradley was one of the worst defensive centers in NBA history. Then he goes to Philly and suddenly he's pretty serviceable for them on that end.

We're regularly putting Favors in situations where he's having to guard 2 players in PnR after the guard gets beat - not to mention we're giving him a huge chunk of minutes against opposing starters - something we never did last year with our backup bigs, because it meant death.

Favors is solid.

lol, Nate is holding it against Favors for stopping Jaden McDaniels heading towards the basket on a fastbreak that resulted in a kickout KAT 3.
