I read this as the team rebounds well, but individual numbers are lower because there are good rebounders all around. I would imagine now that Kanter is gone, Gobert and Favors numbers rebound, no pun intended.

Yes, but watching the games, the bigs will have problems occasionally in one on one rebound battles. I think there's a stat out there that shows proximity rebounding, or rebounding in traffic, or something. Gobert has to be elite there offensively, but he's a little weaker defensively.

I think if the wings rebound the same, and the bigs improve one on one, the Jazz can become top 5 in defensive rebounding.
 
Favors is the second best offensive player in the team (with Burks injured)...he has to step up offensively down the stretch.

This. If we're going to contend, which is the intention, he needs to improve and i think he will.

For those getting butt hurt, you must enjoy mediocrity or something.
 
Favors is not much of a great offensive rebounder. The problem is, when he is not getting it going on his early attempts and can not make some putbacks to safe his life, he gets constantly ignored on offense. Sometimes even when he is scoring well, the team keeps ignoring him. So he sometimes just loses motivation to play his best, when the team is not helping his game and just trying to fill their own stat sheed.

In addition, with Gobert on the court he should focus more on offense.

Favors is a fan favourite...that's why he is often exempt from criticism no matter how he plays.

what was left of it. THE 2 BIGS WERE EITHER TRADED OR HURT. I also think its funny what big babies these kanter haters are.uknowwhouare .they neg you for an opinion,like I give a sh**. like im gonna get the coodies or turn into a zombie or something. lol
 
He actually hit his FT's too, that is the most important thing for him right now. Leaves way too many points at the line.

There will definitely be an emphasis on PF skills in the off-season now that he knows he is a more defined 4.

Lindsey already commented on how pleased - and surprised - he was by Favors developing his PF skills. No doubt Derrick will just continue to work on it. What he really needs is a PG who can run the P&R. After Favors makes the screen, no one has to cover Exum; they know he's not going to drive to the basket. Favors is going to be MUCH better when we finally have guards that opponents have to respect. That will free up the inside.
