Official Derrick Favors Thread

Archie, also, his rebounding numbers are nothing special. Many rookies rebound the ball well.

Favors is like Jeremy Evans except he's 4 and half years younger and weighs 50 pounds more. Boom, bitches!

After watching the video (I know.. very credible stuff about to pop out of my mouth), he reminds me of who Millsap was during his first season. Workhorse, hard rebounder, scoring on garbage plays and outworking guys. Except Favors is a better athlete and a bigger guy.

Could be really good... he really needs some grooming from a true post player.

I'm just pointing out what I heard from KOC on the radio today. He said his rebound to minute numbers are exceptionally well.

Favors could have easily been the #1 pick last year by anyone.

Not true.

 

[Archie Moses]

Not true.

How so? How many other rookies have a higher rebound per minute rate? Just curious.

BTW, KOC never lies.

 

[unluckyseventeen]

Not true.

5.3 rebounds in 19 minutes is decent. It's not spectacular but it's certainly nothing to sneeze at when your team's top rebounder (supposedly), Millsap, has been a ghost on the boards this year.

**** me I take that back. He's currently 23rd in the league in rebounds per minute. There are three rookies ahead of him (Cousins, Asik, Griffin) but still. Very solid, especially since he's not just any rookie. He's freakin' 19 and on a team that probably offers him no help in boxing out and such.

So humble. So naive. So ignorant. So awesome.

BTW, you not Favors.

A few things about Favors:

He's 19 years old.

He's the youngest guy in the NBA.

From what I've seen, he doesn't have much of an offensive game outside of a dunk. Can anyone else add to this?

He has the size and athleticism the Jazz have been craving for like a fat kid salivating at my cheese fries.

Dude can float for a big guy.

He averages 6 points a game, but he's never shot more than 10 shots per game. (He's shot 10 3x's this year)

Big man who shoots over 50% from the floor. (I wish Big Al could. With that said, there's no reason any big man in the NBA can't shoot more than 50% from the field.)

He sucks at FT's.

He's a project.

Has a very good rebound/minute ratio for a rookie.

As I said in another thread Favors risk/reward factor >>>>>> DWill resigning in 2012 risk/reward factor.

Thoughts?
