DMC takes plays off they say. So do a lot of other stars.

Taking a few plays off on defense throughout the season when your team is winning and making the playoffs is different than taking large chunks of games off and losing. DMC is talented enough to make this team competitive he chooses not to play at a high level. He chooses to not play defense for entire games. He chooses to throw up really bad shots throughout the game. Maybe he turns it all around in the right situation and becomes a great player but I find that unlikely to happen here in Utah and I think it may never happen. He is not a mentally strong player that puts it all on the line and is striving to make his team better and himself better. I think that the Mental aspect of basketball is just as important as the physical side. I dont think he has the mental fortitude to win. I think his mental weakness will be exposed if he is ever on a playoff team. I cant see him keeping it together in multiple close physical 7 game series.

He is doing all that and still has the time to be the better player and has a bigger impact on games?

Don't want any of those guys either.
 
-Favors has way fewer fouls, turnovers, and 4 minutes less than Cousins.
-Favors shoots 54% and Cousins shoots 46%.
-Favors is a far superior and versatile defender.
-Cousins shoots 5 shots a game more than Favors.
-Cousins is thought to be one of the worst teammates in the league.
-Cousins is a far superior rebounder, has better court vision, and is a better free throw shooter and gets to the line more.
-I'd be interested to see what Favors could do if he shot the ball 5 times more per game.

I would not touch Cousins with a 39 1/2 foot pole.
 
You also have to take into account potential improvement. Favors has steadily improved each season and I could see him averaging close to 17 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 blocks next season. That's not to say Cousins won't improve, too, but I think he's a bit closer to his ceiling than Favors is.
