Could Gobert eventually replace Favors in the Lineup?

[Litany]

Anyone here play fantasy football?

This reminds me of all of the Jared Cook threads after one good showing in game 1.

Actually, it's worse, because Gobert had maybe two nice blocks and now he's better than our best player. If Gobert is better than Favors and that turns out to be true we are screwed for the next five years unless we get a top 3 next year.

This is a stupid thread right now.

I guarantee that if favors stays healthy then none of our back up bigs will have a shot in hell at taking his starting job.

He is better in offense than he gets credit for and he is better on defense than gobert right now.... favors is going to be averaging 3 blocks per game, probably a double double, and be in the running for most improved player, defensive player of the year, and will miss the all star game but not by much.

Gobert will not even be close to ready to take favors job by the end of the year

I'm with fish on this. Gogurt is not and will not be better than Favors by the end of the year.

but...

by all means lets dissect their games based on the ultra competitive and cleanly played scrimmage.

Favors can destroy any center's ace in the league defensively and in the means of badassdom.

Gobert should play this year. He should be a backup and replace Favors when he comes out of the game. Is he ready to replace Favors? He could end up replacing Favors if he wants too much money and the Jazz say see ya!!!

Favors should sign an extension now because if Kanter/Gobert out play him he takes a big chance of losing some huge money. Another thing he has to worry about is if the Jazz get a top 3 pick, he might have another big body to content with.

Favors needs to just play hard and continue to grow and if he does that he will have nothing to worry about. For me, this is a make it year for Favors, if he can not score around 16-18 pts a game, I will be disappointed and wouldn't give him a huge contract.

Why stop with just replacing Favors. He could replace Michael Jordan as the greatest player ever!

Well, could he? As far as I know, there is nothing wrong with him. He has size and an amazing triangular frame which means that he could put on plenty of lean muscle. He is plenty fast and jumps really well for his size. He appears to be mentally sound and intelligent. He has talent. The good news for us is that if we sign Favors this year sometime than we will have four years to figure it out before GoBear becomes a free agent, so we will have plenty of info on him. Do I think it'll happen? They were both drafted on potential, GoBear was late first instead of top three because of bad coaching and obscurity.

Yeah, I'm stalling.

Yes, it 'could' happen. Ya. It could. Nothing against Favors, but he's got to keep on his toes because there is a new player drafted every year, and this year it is someone who is as agile as he is but three inches taller with a wingspan that exceeds his already massive wingspan. It's all up to what's in their respective heads.

I might just start calling Gogurt "Bear" instead... just to keep things simple. Maybe even just "Jazz Bear".

A friend of mine has a nephew named Bear. When she told me his name I was like "nickname?" She says "nope, that's his name."

Some parents are just mean.

Gobert will never be as good as Favors. You are talking about the Kanter-Favors dreamteam for years and complaining about their playing time, bashing AL Jefferon, Tyrone Corbin and Paul Millsap for it. And just after seeing an skinny 7.1 Big Man, who plays a solid summerleague and scrimmage match, you will give that up for it ?

Pleas guys stay classy and stop beeing childish !!!

---------------------------------------------

Gobert never has the potential Favors has, we are not talking about an 16 year old right now even if he is looking like one. We are talking about a player who is in the same Age as Kanter (a few months older i think) and just one year younger than Favors. Favors could be a Dwight Howard light, with a better Jumpshot and with Kanter it could be the best BIG-MAN dou in the game.

I still could barf seeing that 50 percent Voted for Gobert against Favors. It really just needs a few solid games in meaningless competition to destroy the dream of Favors + Kanter the twin towers. I hope Favors will not end up like AL infornt of some fans...

I can just see it coming... "..... dumb Corbin letting Favors taking away Goberts minutes..." "mimimi mimimi mimimi"

Where is AK when we need him ???

Frenchy's ceiling is Ömer Aşık for the next 5 years that lie ahead. If he can shoot too, that's fine. But first I need to see him crossover Durant.

No joke. People are so crazy on this site. Lets put someone in who is not proven on offense or defense. Who is probably going to be worse at offense, and not as good as a defender. Yea that makes a lot of sense. These are the same people who just a year ago were saying Kanter was a slow pile of trash. Yet now he is their savior. haha

My friend's brother's name is Bear. Maybe it is the same dude.
