I agree. I'm hoping he can come off the bench and bring the hustle and rebound well like Millsap did during his first few seasons. Walt Perrin, Dir. of Jazz Personnel, was on 1320 earlier and said that a criticism of Favors is that he doesn't always seem to play hard or with a ton of energy (unlike Millsap). However, Perrin had a lot of good things to say about him overall and believes he has tremendous potential and upside.

Hopefully Favors gets some good 'big man' coaching this summer to hone his offensive skills. At 19, and with Hayward at 20, we got some young'uns now. Hayward and Favors can grow up together now...
Maybe Jefferson can teach him some post moves. It's funny how I'm not even thinking about Harris with this trade- just Favors and rebuilding.

The kid is a slow learner. Even his college coach mentioned that he was extremely slow at getting up to college ball speed. He said that at the first of the year at Tech he was lost, he worked his butt off and got a little better as the season went on. His coach went on to say that by the time the NCAA tourny rolled around, he was easily the best player in the ACC and quite possibly the best in the nation. Back on draft night he said the Nets needed to be patient because it may take a year or so for the NBA light to come on, but when it does the kid will dominate. If this guy had played just one more year of college ball, many felt he would have been the best draft prospect since the likes of a Shaq or Duncan.
The biggest thing for me is that the guy's work ethic is praised everywhere he's been. Guy's like that usually come around. Plus, the Utah Jazz have NEVER had a prospect that matches the physcial dimensions of Favor's.

Favors is averaging 5.3 rebounds in 19.5 minutes per nite. That's 13.1 per 48.
Over his last 13 games though, he has 85 rebounds which is 6.53 per game and at under 21 minutes a game during that span, that's a rebounding rate of 15.16 per 48...granted, that's basing it off of minutes per night which aren't to the exact second on nba.com but still, you get the point. He won't be 20 'til July and he's rebounding like this.

Howard averaged just 10.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in over 32 minutes a night as a rookie of almost exactly the same age. Promising.

If he was that bad early in the year and the supposed best player in college by the end of that same season, wouldn't that make him a fast learner?

Maybe its time the Jazz made that call to Karl?
