Give Ersan favors’ minutes

Most people here are overrating Ersan’s defense.
I saw him get played off the floor in

Milwaukee... and that was 2-3 years ago.

He’s limited. Those limitations diminish if he’s at the 5.
 
In every game I've seen so far that Favors was in, I've been pleased with his defense. He's being terribly underestimated here.
He's definitely had games where he was pretty stiff and had a hard time challenging shots. I think it's pretty clear his back bothers him from time to time. He does much much better when he has had some rest. He looked really spry in the Lakers game, because he had some rest. I hope with Ersan we can give favors maybe the same rest pattern as Conley up to the playoffs so he is fresh and ready then.
 
Giving Faves rest and situations when we need shooters on the floor as a stretch-5 would be the best times for Ersan. I'd like to see what he can do now with some meaningful minutes. It's all about the match ups, I think.
