Show your man love to Favors. It's overdue!!!

[sgjazzfan]

I don't think its coincidence that he's played a lot better when playing at PF. That is where he will be able to excel in this league, not at C.

Out of micro-film?

Oooooooohhhhhhh....... sick burn

Favors now the data need not be Ibaka difference

Having a really good season (mostly) under the radar: Derrick Favors. Just keeps getting better every year.

From Zach Lowe's twitter.

Favors = Great
Gobert = Great, potentially super-star defensive center


Kanter = why does he get PT again?

 

[Coach Ellis]

Favors = Great
Gobert = Great, potentially super-star defensive center


Kanter = why does he get PT again?

Because he's still young and improving and he has a solid offensive game. Ideally, the Jazz can convince the league that his ceiling is in the Kevin Love range and trade him in a package for a #1 option wing to pair with Hayward. Right now he's scoring 14 points per game and pulling down 7 rebounds per game. If the Jazz start bringing him off the bench and pairing him with Gobert for quality stretches, I can easily see those averages move upward. If they can improve Kanter's value and package him with some of their many draft picks. . . I could see them getting a really good player to add to the developing core of Gobert, Favors, Hayward, Burks and Exum. If they can't flip him for an All-Star caliber player, I'd rather see them hang on to him and try again in 2016.

Derrick Favors got $5 million less than what Tristan Thompson turned down. Rich Paul Get That Money

I saw that on twitter. Behind Steph Curry, Derrick Favors may have the best non-rookie contract. Will be a crime if we end up paying Kanter more than Favors.

Favors must have a dumb agent.


Yes, it will be a crime if Kanter is paid more.

Favors has said that he just wanted to be here. I'm not sure he cared about the extra money as much as the stability. He could have pulled a Hayward and probably gotten a similar contract to Hayward. Part of what makes Favors my favorite player on the team is that he did that. The other reason being that I have believed since last year that he was our best player.

He is 10th in FG percentage and PER.

Might be told before but doesn't hurt to mention it more than a few.

Why is Rudy not in the FG% chart? he's shooting 62%..

I actually checked the list to show Rudy but Favors' accomplishment is really impressive. He also has midrange and all kinds of skills around the rim.
