Well, I dunno about that - or really care all that much.
But never under estimate the importance of a mean streak. It can make the difference between a good player and an all-star.

Agree. But I wouldn't mind if he is Tim Duncan or David Robinson type rather than Kevin Garnett or Karl Malone type.

Would you people stop it with this comparison? Favors is strong but plays way more of a finesse game than Howard does. Not too say that Favors is only finesse, he does occasionally play with some power, but his playing style is nothing like Howard's. The only thing they have in common is being black, tall, athletic and they're both in the NBA.

At the same age, Howard probably was as finesse as, if not more than, Favors right now. He sure can develop into the type of player Howard is, considering he is only 19. And if he can become that type of player, it would be the most ideal situation for the Jazz.
I totally agree with this.. I don't think he's tall enough to be a Center (yet). He is strong and has that combination of quickness and explosiveness, he should totally model himself after Amar'e.. If he can be 3/4 of what Amar'e is, Jazz has a very very bright future...
You don't turn down free help from your greatest player of all time. All Malone is waiting for is a phone call.
This team can't get much right this season...

Just because he was a great player doesnt mean he is a great coach or teacher.

Guys like Antoine Carr and Donyell Marshall took their games to a new level as a result of working alongside Karl, so he can clearly motivate people in the right direction. It didn't work out the same with Ostertag. So the question is, would Favors react more similarly to Carr or to Ostertag? I don't think there's any question which direction he would go. Karl would be a great basketball mentor for Derrick, and the Jazz have a much stronger legacy if past greats are involved (ala Kareem, Magic and West with the Lakers). It's a win/win situation and I'm hoping the only reason they haven't yet taken that step is that things are too chaotic right now.

What Karl would do in this situation is drain the 18 foot fallaway with a big hand in his face. Or Karl might back over his man like a tree stump and break the rim into tiny little pieces dunking it. Now go ahead Derrick, do what what Karl would do.
