Jazz have a game in less than an hour (UTA @ OKC)

[green]

Be excited if Favors can somehow score 15 points a game on >46% shooting.

This is why I don't know if I would have extended him yet.

I hate saying this, but I'd rather have Big Al scoring 20 and 10 than Favors scoring 15 and 12 with a much lower fg%. 15 pts off 46% fg is 15 shots for 15 pts.

No thank you. Not for 12 million.

I hate Favors if he gets 15 pts off 15 shots. I LOVE Favors if he can get 15 pts off 9-10 shots. HUGE difference. One makes him a steal at 12 million and another makes him a poor man's but at almost the same cost Al Jefferson.

Uhh. Defense? And the Jazz aren't building an entire offensive system around Favors?

I'm not sure I would've, my point is that your logic doesn't make a lot of sense.

I do not think Favors gonna use 15 shots may be with offensive reboundings. Kanter or Hayward's gotta make most of the attempts.

It's much about our guard problem. He's just finisher under the rim when he's passed well, not closer even scorer. He's gotta be involved in PnR and we gotta play up tempo to see his contribution of open court basketball. We've already know his post up or midrange shooting abilities so it's not surprising he's floundering.

I completely agree with this.

Here is the next problem. Favors has seen Big Al dominate the ball. Favors is emulating this so far. What does he do when Burke comes back, and we draft a top 5 pick next year, and suddenly he is our third or fourth option on offense under a new coach with our scoring options being - #1 draft pick, #2 Burke, #3 Hayward, #4 maybe Favors, maybe Kanter?

Is he happy with that?

Kanter and Hayward will share the load of scoring naturally and he's gonna score of put backs and PnR baskets. Everyone knows he has got the contract of 49 mil dolar for his defense and rebounding. So i feel he's not kind of someone who complains about his role.

So far, Favors is 13-40 in the preseason. 32%. Ouch.

 

[MVP]

Doesn't he play for the Hawks now? Am I missing something?

I miss Millsap. And he got paid less then Favors. But whatever, point taken. Won't mention him again, promise.

stinking small images....

Burks is 16-49 in the preseason so far.

 

[Sneakers]

Think its asinine that most people are / were cool with the Favors overpay but now want to skimp on Hayward, who has clearly been the best player this preseason and seems on the brink of a breakout season. Now we get cheap? Pay the guy, its a 4 year contract at worst a million a year over what it should be.
