Favors has looked ready to take the next step forward in his progression this season, averaging 15.9 points on 56.3 percent shooting to go with 8.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per contest. Among players who have logged at least 300 minutes, he is 15th in the NBA with a 22.5 player efficiency rating (PER).
