I came across this in another thread somewhere and it just made me happy and then angry that he's is still rotting on our bench most of the game.

Damn you KOC and Lindsey.
he's not rotting on the bench. he's our first big off the bench and growing nicely in the role as evidenced by defensive impact, an improved confidence and many more trips to the foul line.
he would probably foul out in the minutes people around here would like him to be playing.
Damn, I didn't even watch part of the playoffs........wanna know why?
In one of the Favors highlights, the score was 49-83.
And then when the youngsters/bench brought the team back in the game, Ty would put the starters back in....rep for posting this.
EDIT- Watched the whole video.....yeah I'm pretty depressed about the Jazz now. He should be starting.
Favors doesnt play because his offense still has a lot of issues. He seems to have some skill but cant put it together. He makes a lot of mistakes still. Turnovers, Fouls, bad decisions, . He basically is still very raw mentally. His defense is great, but around here, its offense that keeps you on the court. Even though we always here how important defense is.
good comparison.The development of Greg Monroe over the last year has been huge. Played 39 minutes today.
Same draft/ similar player as Favors.
Favors has started about ten games in his career. How many times did he foul it of those.
He is rotting. In his third year in the league is still right at his career mpg of 21. Does his role increase with good play? Nope. He gets the same minutes every night. Meanwhile other teams are playing their lottery picks and they are growing while the Jazz piss theirs off and let them rot.
We traded our all star for essentially him. Wtf is this team doing. He is in his third year. 21 mpg is inexcusable and unacceptable.
If I'm him i take the qualifying offer from the Jazz to play 1 year. Play careful or have a "nagging injury" keep me out a lot of the year and leave this team and sign with a team that won't waste me away behind mediocre vets.
I'm pissed right now and have been this whole season tbh. In case nobody noticed.
plenty of the lottery picks you talk about were far more developed than favors when they were selected. there are just as many lottery picks who have taken years to get their game going and quite a few more that never got there at all.
clearly you're pissed. i just have two things to reply:
1) re: the deron trade, anytime you trade away a star and don't get one back, you lose the trade.
2) to say favors is rotting is to ignore the development we've seen in his game this year (especially) and to give the man himself no credit whatsoever. he didn't come here expecting to be the starter. he came as a VERY raw but exciting project player who was always going to take time to develop. you and others here have your thoughts on how to best do that. the jazz coaches have their own and i don't reckon you've got much chance of influencing them. plenty of the lottery picks you talk about were far more developed than favors when they were selected. there are just as many lottery picks who have taken years to get their game going and quite a few more that never got there at all.
Okay just looked at it.
Favors has not started at center this year meaning when he did start it was with Al the ball hog who takes all the shots.
Last year he started 5 games at center when Al was out. Production? He played 34 mpg. And posted :
15.8 pts 11.2 Rebs 1.6 ast 0.6 blk 0.8 stls 51% fg. 76% ft.
How many shots on average? 11
