Here is a video of him dunking from a Pro-am game this summer.
 
I just got done looking at D. Favors picture on ESPN's ranking crap they're doing. I said to myself, "if he could gain 10-15 pounds, he could be deadly" at center or PF. Then I see he's been hitting the weights. Good news! I looked at his stats over the summer in comparison to Dwight Howard's, and they are comparable considering his playing time. Dwight started at PF when he came into the league and then made the transition to Center. Favors weighs 5 pounds more than Dwight in his rookie years, and Favor's measurements and stats are right on par with Howard's. Here are their post-allstar stats of their rookie seasons per 36. Let's commit to Favors and get him the minutes he needs.

DH: 15.5, 11.2, 1.1 ast, 1.2 st., 1.9 blk, 2.5 TO, 3.4 fls (33.7 actual minutes)
DF: 14.75, 9.4, 1.4 ast, .9 st., 2.15 blk, 1.8 TO, 5.2 fls (20.2 actual minutes)
 
Can I just say that after reading this news, I have more of an itch than EVER for the season to start...
 
List of players with "Dwight Howard shoulders"
1) Dwight Howard

Also, not to be too much of a bummer but Dwight Howard is much more likely than Derrick Favors to have grown since they were measured.
 
After Favors gets in one more season, people will be saying Dwight Howard has shoulders like Derrick Favors.
