Voted Favors - Kanter will score and rebound nicely, but Favors will have a more balanced all-around game.
 
I think it also will depend on works better with Trey Burke and who the better pick and roll player is. I can see both Favors and Kanter doing very well in the pick and roll game.
 
I love Favors and what Favors does for the team, but Kanter seems to be the better player, imo.

Scares me that there are even rumors that Kanter would be the odd man out between him and Favors. I don't want to lose either one until we see them start together next season, but if you put a gun to my head I take Kanter.
 
Kanter easily....without scratching the surface of what he can do he has had games already that Favors might never get IMO. To me, Kanter is by far our most promising core player. They guy can be a true beat if it all goes well.
 
Kanter will have better stats this season. But I'm going to take a real risk here and say Favors will have the better career eventually. I see Derrick building a quick rapport with Burke and the two becoming a great P&R combination.

I have my hopes up that working with Karl and having a pure PG (plus the extra year of growth, experience and maturation) will improve Favors' game a lot this upcoming season. But I can't believe it until I see it.

Kanter is better.

That, and this is a question about stats. Provided Kanter is fully recovered (an issue that I've been concerned with and have only become more concerned with), he will almost assuredly have better stats. At least.
 
I'm going to be bold and say Favors. I think working with Malone will help him, he's is the more obvious P/R partner for Burke, and Kanter probably won't progress as much during the summer because of his injury. I also once saw some stats that showed that when Favors and Kanter were on the floor together, Favors' production went up, and Kanter's went down.
 
Kanter would get 18 and 11 if he gets 35 minutes per game.

Since Kanter will only get 20 minutes (thanks to Corbin and our front office), I say Favors.

Favors predicted stats for next season: 13 PPG, 8.5 RPG and 2 BPG per 32 minutes per game.
 
You guys think there is any chance they could get John Stockton, Karl Malone, Jerry Sloan, Trey Burke, Enes Kanter and Derrick Favors all in the gym at the same time?

You missed a name so I fixed it for you. Seriously, get those guys in a gym together and sell tickets. I'd pay!
 
One of the reasons I love the Gobert pick is that I've been worried about Favors and what it might take to keep him. He seems to have gotten worse offensively and if he's going to get the big bucks, then he'd better be able to do something offensively. He's past year 3 and I have only seen incremental growth from him. This year is make or break for him, and there's a good chance that if he carries over what he has been doing to a bigger role that some team is going to throw some ridiculous offer at him and the Jazz will have a really hard choice to make. Gobert could give them a backup plan if the Jazz are forced to be shrewd (which if I know anything, it's that in order to be a champion, you can't afford bad deals, especially not huge deals that are bad).

I'd rather Favors finally be able to score in some way that is reliable, and being the **** rid of Al and getting a PnR PG back could be huge for him. If after four years (and remember, most players are largely what they are going to be after year three) and after getting the minutes, the change of style that suits him better, more shots, better shots, and tutelage from Malone and Sloan he hasn't substantially and obviously improved offensively, I'm comfortable calling that it's not going to happen.

But again, I'm rooting that he cans one simple post move, does well in the PnR, and can hit the high-post jumper with any kind of reliability. And passes better.
 
Stats are favored towards offensive players....so Kanter.
I don't think he's going to start this year though.

Precisely why the Jazz have gone passed insanely retarded in their handling of him.

Not giving him more reps, not giving him a chance to succeed, and not seeing what you have in this player, is a giant mistake the Jazz have made. The Jazz are gonna go into contract negotiations with him not knowing how good he is or can be, with only one full season of evaluation, maybe, if he stays healthy? Greeeeat strategy!

And they did it all in the name of sticking to their super cool philosophy of, Vets are Boss.
 
I can't believe how many people are still on the Favors bandwagon. He hasn't improved AT ALL in three years. Kanter has improved probably more than Favors will his entire career, and Kanter did it in ONE offseason.
 
Same minutes? Kanter will dominate the boards, and be better offensively, but Favors will have more blocks... And turnovers.
