If you're just saying the Jazz need a big who can stretch the floor, that's fine. Playing with either Frye or Hawes, however, Favors would be the 5 (not that these position definitions are terribly meaningful). He's much stronger AND a much better rim protector than either of those two.
Also, can you explain what defensive rating is and why it's a good measure of defensive ability?
Are you on drugs? Hawes is 7'1.
This is the stat sheet I like for defense:
