What's new
By:

Derrick Favors now with "Dwight Howard-type shoulders"

I'm relatively new here but why are certain forum members so rude and why is it accepted? I mean I thought we were on the same side being Jazz fans and all. I've been to many sports forums and none are like this. Is it because being from Utah naturally makes one defensive?

I'm not from Utah, I'm just an *******.

Like I said I haven't been to any that are like this, therefore that list is much shorter to fill. I just don't get the internet tough guy/bully thing, especially when all it does is chase good Jazz fans away or encourage them to never post.

A little more back on track: If the 2010 draft were to be held now with the knowledge we have from watching them for a season would Favors still be #3? I mean Cousins, Davis and Patterson all look like they're going to do well.

But in the same breath would Evan Turner be the #2 pick? Favors was drafted on potential I don't think anyone thought he would come in and dominate this year. I would have to give all of them 3-4 years in the league before it is fair to ask this question IMO
 
Most everyone on the board is use to each other, so being rude is fine. It's not like any new person who joins gets blasted.
 
One thing that has become abundantly clear to me is that Favors must have playing time (min. 30/gm), put on a little more weight, and practice shot after shot from about free-throw distance. His passing became quite impressive as the year progressed I might add. Favor's was third in efficiency according to hoopsstats.com among all rookies per 48 minutes of play. Our own Jeremy Evans was second (I know these adjusted stats are a bit misleading). He is really a player who has it on both ends, and I think he will be solid on offense but elite on defense. I would still take him over Cousins because of his horrible shooting %, TO rate, and general bone-headedness. https://www.hoopsstats.com/basketball/fantasy/nba/playerstats/11/7/eff/7-3

The bitterness fluctuates. I think the lack of things to talk about just has us prediciting our team's future, and of course different people always have differing views of which player we should hang onto and develop, and which should be traded etc. However, even times in the past, certain posters like Hooper and Sloanfeld cranked peoples gears plenty. You've just joined at a bad time, come pre-season or free agency, I think well all be less bitter. Regardless, its the internet. Why the hell do you care if people are rude? Just throw em on ignore.
 
Favos > Cousins. Looking forward to their many bouts that they will inevitably have in the future.
 
Ack- I'm on meds, normally I would not have asked that. Friendly ribbing is nice actually, IDK- just forget it.

I like Patrick Patterson a good deal- I think he has a big future, Davis is a little undersized for the pivot but effective and maybe he'll fill out. For me it's not just a Favors vs Cousins competition, those other cats can ball!.
