Derrick Favors Extravaganza!

Rep is stupid

YOu all are just looking at his WOW plays. Quit acting like this is the best move the Jazz ever made. We will see on Favors. But, quit drooling over him like you are at a 5 year olds birthday party. It is just unreasonable that you can see STARS with Hayward and Favors playing good in garbage time with teams (except the Wizards game.) This is crazy these are the same people that we drooling over boozer til he left. Dwill till he left. Don't overrate our rookies. Can they be good? Yes...But, as you complain about Ronnie Price a once a game highlight reel the scales tip in both directions.


And morons negative Rep because something hurt their internet egos

On top of all your other mental midgetry you consider 5-year-old birthday parties to be drool-worthy events? Just plain wierd.

While KBG made an incredibly stupid comment comparing Favors to Price, I think I understand the gism of his argument. What we have here is an array of dunk videos. We need Favors to be much more than just a dunker.

You getting warmer lets say you get just dumped you old girl friend 'price' because you thought that she couldn't have been more perfect she had all you wanted athleticism, heart, and seemed to make spectatular plays one of twice a game. Later you start seeing the flaws shoots to much, can't hit a shot, and turns the ball over. So, you go to an extreme and begin to loathe her and want to dump her. Then 'Favors' comes into you life and now you are set with a new, better, seemingly perfect girlfriend....or so you though.

It is great that Favors and Hayward look good but....time will tell. We shouldn't be lighting up these boards with our over rated expectations too early. You all have already penciled Hayward and Favors in as the two new stars. They might end up as Ronnie Prices ( and I love Price but most of you don't) and this time next year you will ask for new studs that you will over inflate. So, the cycle begins.

Look at this time last year I bet there was a ton of love for Dwill, Millsap, and Wes.
Two years ago Memo, Boozer, Millsap, Brewer, and Dwill.

OK, hey look at these two with some cautioned optimism. They could be spectacular or a Ronnie Price type player.

You are getting warmer. My whole problem was that you compare price and favors. Lets see price is about 6 feet tall. Favors about 6 foot 10 inches. price plays on the perimeter. Favors on the low block. No big schools seemed to want price out of high school so he goes to UVSC. favors is one of the top prospects in the country out of high school and goes to an ACC school. Price isn't good enough to leave early and stays all four years. Favors probably could have went to the nba straight from high school if the rules allowed. Im not sure when price was drafted but probably in the 2nd round or even undrafted maybe. Favors was 3rd overall. Favors was the main piece in a trade for d-will (an all star). I dont think that anyone would really want price to be the main piece that they recieve from a trade. Im ok with you saying that he might not reach his potential but it is still extremely stupid to compare favors to price as they are obviously very different players.

*argument

Here's a nice assortment I found of Favors' offensive moves from his game in San Antonio. Not going against elite individual defenders and a big difference from doing something once to doing it consistently, but shows a nice jump hook, and you can see he's devleoping some footwork on his face-up game stepping off the left block.

I might get a lot of back lash for this but I honestly think Favors is more agile than Dwight Howard. Howard is more athletic for sure. Maybe I am using the wrong word but it seems Favors has more lateral movement than Howard. Howard's ability seems to be more up and down. Favors seems to be able to get around people better. He has a softer touch than Howard also. Favors looks like he could develop into a All-star.
He has a lot of moves and if he keeps working on them and gets that outside shot consistent. He will be an All-star every year. He is not as raw as Howard was also. I honestly think Favors has a better offensive skill set than Howard. He just needs experience and confidence.
He seems to be more like Amare than Howard in my opinion. But he seems to be more patient than Amare. But a better rebounder and defender than Amare. Which is very surprising at his age. I have high hopes for this kid.

I think Hayward is a poor man's Ginolbli. His style of play is very similar.

I really hope we don't draft a PG with the 3rd pick. Only options are Walker and Knight and both of them are shoot first point guards. KOC will make a huge mistake by doing that. It will hinder the development of Hayward and Favors if we do that.
 
Will Favors ever be able to consistently hit and open 15-18 footer? That to me determines whether he eventually ends up an all-star. He's got all the other tools.

Agreed fully. I think he will because he has a soft touch. Most guys don't have that. But it for sure depends on that. Other wise he will be a 15 and 10 guy without that outside shot.
