Derrick Favors by the numbers

[mtnbayou]

Those stats as a starting center are very impressive. I'm not sure if that means he plays better against centers, or if he simply plays better along side Millsap rather than Al.

I don`t understand how more people don`t see it - Favors should be our center and Sap the 4. Favors is big enough for the 5 position.

Marvin Williams, Sap, and Favors frontline? It`d be awesome.

I prefer Jefferson as our center..... in his current reduced role of course.

Am I the only one who isn't on the Favors bandwagon? I just don't see why people are all over his nuts. He isn't really that good, doesn't look to have much potential, and plays two or three mediocre games for every awesome game he has. I'm not trying to be a dick here or hating on him -- I actually like him -- but I just don't get it. He's a great backup, nothing more.

That's funny right there.

To the point though, I'm not trolling. Also, I don't look at stats (unless I'm writing up something about Chucker J. Smiles -- can you blame me?) so I have no idea what his numbers are. Frankly, I don't care either. He's better than Millsap and Jefferson? And people think I'm trolling...

I just don't see it, guys. He has piss poor handle on the ball. He has ZERO post moves. He has no mid-range game. He is a head case. Granted, he can rebound and occasionally has a break-out game, but give me a break, he is not a starter on many teams, and certainly not the Jazz. Like I said, I don't look at stats, I watch the games. He will always be "good", but will never sniff an all-star game.

This is the best post of the thread.

But seriously, when nerd tells me that I'm wrong, I'll actually listen. When GVC and nerd tell me I'm wrong, then I'm probably very wrong.


I guess there's a first time for everything, though. Favors blows.

Sometimes it's hard to be this amazing. But not really.

You all should be terrified that I've noticed the "C.J. Miles" in Favors. It's not pretty. The only good thing that might come out of it is a good 100 or so page thread about The Favors Experiment.
