Derrick Favors tweets on @UtahJazz twitter

Things that stuck out to me:

He said multiple times he sees himself staying here his whole career.

Will take up Malone's offer to workout together.

Wants championships.

Loves our fans.

Says he has a 39 inch vertical...wasn't he measured at 36 at the combine?
