Favors the odd man out

Favors is getting schooled in every facet of the game. He's even more of a liability on the offensive end as Jefferson is on D.

Corbin needs to give up on this silly offensive development experiment. It's maddening watching Favors attempt to dribble. The FO should either accept that he's a defender with little offensive upside a la Noah/Chandler/Camby or the Jazz must trade him before his value plummets.

Embarrassing PnR, can't guard the post -- another run of the mill defensive "athletic" big about to get paid way more than he's worth. No need to get DeAndre'd. Please shop him KO'Lindsey.

ok? do you watch games? Every time Favors plays, the Jazz outscore their opponents. He is less of a liability than Al is. If they are going to trade him, I think they should at least play him a full year at 30+ minutes per game to see what we are working with.

Sadly, I can't disagree with this, but if it's maddening to watch Favors dribble, how does it feel to watch Hayward lose the ball time and time again? That's madness!
 
Even assuming he gains no further offensive skills (at 21), he still projects to be an elite defensive player. You do not shop those guys unless you get a haul. Noah and Chandler are both previous all stars, you saw what happen to Dallas when they let Chandler walk - roughly a 20 game swing in wins and losses the next year.

At least he no longer runs to the sideline, jump, and turn hoping someone is open to pass to.

I like Favors, I want the Jazz to get something for him. He's easily replaceable in net production, especially for the future price.

If you think Favors is so replaceable, tell me when the last time the Jazz had a player who was so good defensively? The last time I can remember was Mark Eaton, and he retired in like 94. A defensive player the caliber of Noah and Chandler is not simply replaced. Seriously. Just look at the teams they are on. The Bulls are a perennial contender (when rose is healthy) the Knicks finally look like a good team, and the Mavs only won a title when they got Chandler. The only other guy as good as them defensively is Dwight Howard, and he is not that great offensively either. If Favors turns out to be 80% of what Dwight Howard used to be, then we will be well on our way to a championship.

Agreed.

Favors is no Noah or Chandler -- he can't guard the post. He's a DeAndre/Ibaka type, and you have to keep a Perkins around just to make up for their lack of post defense. You don't keep one way players on the roster unless their dominance on one end is so impactful that it dwarfs the other end, or you have no replacement alternatives.

I said he is replaceable in net production, meaning contributions from both ends of the floor. There are plenty of bigs to be had every summer.

I guess I am seeing what you are saying more now. In your original post on the thread, you said that they should accept that he is a defensive anchor ala Noah and Chandler. I do agree that if they are not going to give him that type of role, then they ought to get something for him while he still has value. I do believe however that he can be productive if he had a coach that knew how to run an offense. I think he can be used in the high pick and roll, he can pass out of the post, and he can get a lot of put backs. If that leads him to 12-15 points a game, and he turns in the DPOY that we have hoped for, then he will be fantastic. He has to be used correctly though, and Corbin is not the coach to do that, and this team as presently constructed, is not ideal for Favors to shine.
