Preseason Game #2: OKC at UTAH

Nice to see Enes improved in almost every part of his game. He still has the sickness to fail to see who's coming at him at the low post and bringing the ball down, but it can only get better. Good game for him 12-12.
 
LOVING this.... I don't care if OK didn't play anybody, a win is a win. I thought we've got some guys in great shape. Nice dunks from kanter and burks. Nice shooting from kanter from the outside.

What the hell are you going on about? Favors is not an unknown quantity. We already know he's a good player. He's already a top rate defender. He already has significant effect on the games. Nobody here is questioning whether Favors can play. What is this? 2010? The question we all have is whether Favors turns out only to be a situation defensive expert and a quality rotation player, or the all-star he can clearly be.

He's not a "KNOWN" quantity. Far from it. He was extremely inconsitent last season. He had 3 decent playoff games. But I maintain we still don't know if he will be a top-tier starter. Jazz had one of the best EVER defenders in Mark Eaton. But they were constantly playing 4 on 5 on offense because he couldn't shoot. Ronnie B. was a decent player, but had no outside shot. AK was a fantastic defender when he wanted to be, but was wildly inconsistent on the other end. Adn what happened to all those teams, even with 1 or 2 of the best players in the NBA on them? Defeated in the playoffs. You can't have major, glaring weaknesses in this league.

Favors, right now, is a defensive player only. He hasn't shown that he can be a consistent scorer. And until he does, the Jazz are not going to win against upper-level competition...not when that team can justy ignore one of the Jazz players on offense. Or just hack him if he does get the ball close to the hoop.
