Favs is truly making this season special for us in a way that is just as vital as what Bogey, Ingles, and even Clarkson are bringing to the team.
Just by playing around 16-17 minutes per game, he is simultaneously making the second unit solid (or better) on both ends of the floor, and spelling Gobert just enough to keep him fresh for every game.
Gobert is right at 30 mpg after the Miami game. It is about 2-3 minutes less than he has averaged for the last four years, and 4 minites less than what he averaged last year. That may not seem like much, but it could make a huge difference come playoff time.
Consequently, playing <20 mpg is perfect for Favs, too. We went through several years where playing 25+ starter minutes wore Derrick out by February. His current role often pits him against second units, which is an advantage for the Jazz.
I am so glad to have D-Favs back.
