Derrick Favors motor

I'm not sure I'd say they are incredible but very ****ing good, sure. Incredible to me would be 80% from the line with 11 rebounds per game.

My guess is he'll have that 11 RPG by the time Gobert comes back.

LOL - he'll never shoot 80% at the line though.

Not counting rookie deals, his production to contract is probably the best in the NBA right now.

Excluding one Steph Curry, perhaps..

Why is 80% so laughable? Yao Ming shot 83%. So did Laimbeer. So did Mike Gminski who I once served cold cuts to at a supermarket in Medford, NJ. So did others over 6'10". I find 80% to be incredible. But certainly not 70%.

I think you have to have innate shooting skills to be 80% or better from the line.

Just my observation but I don't believe Favors is a natural scorer - I think what's he's achieved up to this point is based on him busting his *** and working on his game.

I think Favor's ceiling from the line for a season is probably low 70's.

Fair enough. I was defending my statement that I didn't find his play thus far to be "incredible."
