Tonight Favors showed why Jersey traded him. He's not a smart offensive player, and when he encounters a player that matches him in physical gifts, he struggles. The refs have always hated him too. Hayward has turned into a chucker somewhat. They were tired after the first half and it showed.
So Favors has one really awful night and suddenly he sucks? Look at everyone's numbers. They all sucked.
I wish I could say it was just a bad night but they always seem to have a bad night in Denver. It doesn't help that they play in Denver on the second night of a back-to-back. Everyone's struggles with that.
If Randy Foye and Marvin Williams walked away from the team right now, I wouldn't mind.
Never said he sucks. I said he's not a smart/skilled offensive player (hence his 45% shooting this year), and to be frank, he does not rebound the ball with energy quite often for his size. He has two main characteristics as an offensive player: 1) he puts his head down and charges (often out of control) while paradoxically finishing soft around the rim 2) he floats along not asserting himself or contributing to the offense with solid screens, crisp passes, assists, cuts, and activity in general.
I've become convinced that he will never be a dominating offensive player, so the most we can hope for is dominance defensively, 11 plus rebounds a game, and 12-16 points per game on 50% shooting or more.
I'm hoping that Hayward and Kanter improve enough offensively to make our team good enough offensively in the future to contend.
