Lets assume that Cleveland Cavs offer the Jazz the #1 pick in this year's draft in return for either Kanter or Favors. Which front court do you think is best for the Jazz moving forward?

Noel is a twig.
This is actually a close call for me. I also think the Cavs will offer the Jazz a deal like this. The only consideration here is that Noel has dramatically better speed than either Kanter or Favors. He should get up to about 225 lbs, but stay pretty light and play PF.
An argument can be made that Noel is an equal or greater prospect to Favors, based on speed and quickness alone, then factor in his age. Favors and Noel have identical reach.

I will add with torn ACL. Athletic players who have major injuries like that at young age are huge risk. He had nothing else prior to injury.
No to Noel.
I just went with Kanter/Noel as my combination because Favors is still a bit clumsy on offense and Noel has the raw talent to be better offensively.
Not a comfortable decision, and it could backfire depending on Noel's health. But Kanter and Noel in their prime would be bar none the best front court in the league.

I'm waiting for PKM to chime in on this. It would not surprise me in the least if this deal were on the table for the Jazz.
LOL... this is turning out to be an unofficial "give it go PKM" day...
I think he'll avoid this thread like the plague. Nice setup Catchall.

Maybe the risk here outweighs the potential benefit. Keep Favors on his current path and tell him to be like Dwight Howard with a bit of offense.
The reason the Jazz would consider this is due to Favors' offensive development being a bit disappointing.

Kanter and Favors, hands down. Noel will be a nice player, but always a pure defensive guy. He has a super high motor/work ethic.. his fans will LOVE him.. but he's pretty one-dimensional. As hard as this draft is for GM's to pick a #1.. and us fans.. I really feel bad for the kid that's picked #1... I really do.
Someone translate, please. No, please don't bother.

You are either a total and complete idiot or an awful troll.
