The dude has been a beast on the boards. It still drives me crazy that they don't find a way to get him more minutes. He has come in and rebounded better per minute than Kanter was earlier in the season. (I don't know that for sure, just a guess)

I was wondering the same thing, and I think you're right.
I'm really hoping we see a Jefferson trade this summer. The young bigs need minutes. I don't understand why you would want to bring a #3 pick off the bench for three straight years.

maybe the silver lining around not getting the GSW pick will be an Al trade. That is the best way to improve the team if we don't have a pick.
whatevar... that's really no consolation
Very few have the defensive ability of Favors. He has already shown he is a monster on defense.

One player has been limited due to position logjam while the other has been put in a 40 min/night position due to others' injuries. Tough to compare a 40 minute starter with an unseen potential.
I am thrilled Hayward doesn't look terrified everytime someone passes him the ball anymore, but he still looks awkward when he drives hard.
That said, in the long run, when the logjam clears, I think Favors will end up being the stronger player of the two.

His next big step in his development will either be a post up game, or the ability to finish layups with higher consistency. If Hayward had Burks' layup and body contortion ability going to the rim, he would be insane.

I agree with you the young bigs need to play more, however I am not excited to remove Al or Milsap and insert Favors/Kanter. First of all Favors is a step backward offensivley from Al, and he has yet to prove he can stay out of foul trouble. Second, if Al is gone, and Favors moves into the starting lineup who will fill the role on the second unit that Favors has? Favors is not quite as good as Al, new guy is not as talented as Favors = a step backwards for Jazz team.
KOC is the GM with a hot hand, it will be fun to watch him play this out.
