Derrick Favors' PER

Any chance for some new favors highlights (from the past 2 weeks)? Seems to be the only thing, in addition to Haywards development, that keeps me interested. Prodigy?

This.

Favors dunks, and Hayward's blocks are the only reason to tune in anymore. Can't wait to see Favors 2011 highlight video.
 
He looks like he is going to be a beast doesn't he? Tonight when he slammed that ball down on Yi(where he didn't get the foul call) he was pretty pissed off and a little vocal about it. It is good to see the emotion and the major athleticism he possesses.
I put a link to the highlight of that dunk in the game thread and it was McGee not Yi.
 
Dwight Howard was good enough to start 82 games his rookie season and averaged over 32 minutes per game.

I'm not taking anything away from Favors here, but comparing him to Dwight, Shaq, Hakeem, Ewing, or any other HOFer is glazed-eyed fanboyism.

Favors is going to be a stud. He might be J-Smoove stud or he might be sub-Howard stud.

I don't disagree with your main point but the flip side is the Magic were bad enough that he could start 82 games and play 32+ minutes per night.
 
Let's not cherry pick, his PER is 13.4 for the year. Below the NBA average, but pretty good for a 19 year old rook.
