Is Derrick Favors the best player on this team?

Favors is the best player on this team right now. Going forward I think Favors will be for a year or two more unless Hayward really breaks out. But the biggest star power and highest potential on this team is still Exum.

I really hope you are right. Favors, Hayward and gobert are pretty awesome right now, and will probably each be all stars a time or two, but if Exum exceeds all of that, this team will be pretty great. Probably not as great as the Warriors are, but still pretty great.
 
I feel like had he play full time as center, he would have a monster/all star season. is he the best player on this team right now?
He was the best player on the team last year and probably the year before. He's even better this year and still the best player. This season I don't think there is even a legitimate argument against him.

I'd say Hayward has been the best player last 2-3 seasons.
Favors is running away with it this season.
 
Hayward is still the best player on the team. 8 games does not undo all of what happened last year.

Favors and Hayward are the most complete players on our team.

Gobert and Burks are stronger in the areas they specialize in, but don't have the all around games and versatility that Hayward/Favors have.

1a. Hayward
1b. Favors
2. Gobert
3. Burks

I agree with what you said, but I think Gobert is the best player.

Gobert may be sloppy on offense, but I think his defense has the biggest impact out of everyone. Again, I agree Hayward and Favors are more skilled and well rounded, but it can't be ignored how big the difference is when Gobert isn't in the game compared to when he is. I know you can't get it done with Gobert alone, but he'd be the last player I'd dare trade away.
 
Favors is tops right now. He keep playing like this he's going to the Allstar game hands down.

I kind of agree. Gobert simply changes the game. I feel like we have a chance going into any game because of Gobert. Favors is quite the two-way player now, though. He's scored 20+ in half of our games so far, and I think he could have had more games like that if he hadn't gotten the flu. It's close between Favors and Gobert.

Hayward has definitely been the best player overall the past few years, but my rankings of who has played the best so far this season would be:

1. Favors
2. Gobert
3. Burks
4. Hayward
5. Burke
6. Hood

I expect Hayward to eventually be put back in contention with Favors and Gobert, but he hasn't been as good so far.
 
I'm hoping Hayward's struggles are a result of working out the wrinkles with each of our "studs" getting enough touches. Chemistry basically. Which will come in time.

We got this.

I believe Favors is almost as good as Gobert defensively and far more versatile on that end of the floor. While Favors is light years ahead of Gobert on offense. I think Gobert gets seriously over rated as an over all player because of the worthless guy he replaced. He's good but he's not even in the discussion as best player on the team, IMO.
