The answer is obviously yes because there are nearly endless circumstances that could result in that. Injury, over-performing by Gobert + under-performing by Favors, possibility of Favors taking on a 6th man role, trade, etc. etc.

A different question is how likely is it.

I think it goes without saying that the question is whether Gobert could PERMANENTLY replaces Favors in the starting lineup.
 
If he continues to develop at this rapid rate, and if Favors doesn't build an offensive arsenal, then yes I could see it. Favors had that nice little face up jumper in the scrimmage, but then he dissappeared (which seems to be how he operates--showing brilliance and fading). If the Jazz don't reach a deal on Favors before opening night, and if Favors doesn't wow us this year, then I could see us going with Gobert just because of the ridiculous amount of money someone else is going to offer Favors. At least I hope we wouldn't max an unproven/unpolished player, but then again our f/o did pass on drafting Dennis Schroeder w/ the 14 pick, Gobert w/ 21, and Neto w/ 46, and instead opted to spend an unnecessary pick and cash to get 2 of the same players, and 1 less athletic/elite/NBA ready PG; so stupider things have happened.

This is exactly my thought behind starting this thread.

Rep'd.
