Favors picked by NBA Hang Time as 1 of 5 break out players this year

[Ben10]

Derrick Favors, Utah Jazz
We wondered how long it would take Favors, who was a raw-but-super-talented teenager when he entered the league after one season at Georgia Tech, to mature into his massive frame and become a consistent factor for a loaded Jazz frontcourt. He answered that question for us, and Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, during the playoffs (11.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.5 blocks).
A 6-foot-10, 250-pound behemoth in training, Favors, just 21, has perhaps the highest ceiling of any player on this list. And he’s already clamoring for more playing time this season.

Quoted above is the part about Favors read the blog for the other players. Its exciting to see a Jazz player get some national pub like this. And right now Favors is second in the Voting for most likely to take the jump to being a star.

Not a good post for number 666. Seems like bad karma for Burks.

Has perhaps the highest ceiling on the list? None of those guys are even close on the potential scale.

What do you guys think of this one?...

"get ya boi Derrick some Proactiv, cuz he about to break out."

 

[TheSilencer1313]

Hell yeah, Favors is in second in that poll.
Shows that he's on the NBA radar, and not just a Utah commodity.

Don't worry Silencer. It is a nefarious plan to steal him away. By putting floride in the Utah water they hope to dumb down the Jazz FO...

Don't get too excited MarShon Brooks made the list too.

Very cool! Klay Thompson should be on that list as well.
