What happened to Derrick Favors at the age of 25 and can he bounce back?

Favors + Rudy was the best defensive front court in the NBA last season by a massive margin. We should be the best defense in the NBA if he's back to form.

Rubio, Derrick and Rudy on the court together created obvious spacing issues on offense, though. Will be interesting to see how Quin attempts to counter that.
 
I am hoping that he has a great year so that the Jazz can get a sweet draft pick for him. Some one will want his bird rights
 
one interesting thing to remember is Derrick pretty much has always said how much he loves Utah and wants to stay .. is this a factor now in considering who we try to keep ??

Yes there's spacing issues, but if Hood, Jingles, JJ and Mitchell can knock down threes, that will be somewhat alleviated. If Quin can get any sort of improvement out of either Rubio or Favors. . . all the more help.

A little bit I think. Now that Hayward is gone we should be able to retain Favs, Exum, and Hood. Could give out a combined $45M annually for them combined and still be 5-6 M below the tax.

I still think his talents would be maximized elsewhere, but now that we don't need the salary off the books I think you just see if he can get right again.
 
I'm going to throw my hopes in Exum and Hood taking a big jump. Rubio fitting well. Favs coming back into form. And a more healthy year in general. If we win 50 then awesome... I think Mitchell Hood Exum can grow enough that we will find a good long term running mate for Gobert.

Sign a Tolliver or Illyasova and some upside guys and let's roll with that team.

That was years ago. He ripped anything Jazz related off his twitter and knows he's been on the trading block.

Would it for you? Favors was arguably a better player than Hayward up until last year.
My guess is he would resign but its going to be at zero discount this time which makes it near impossible imo.

i'm assuming he gets paid ... be interesting to see. His agent certainly seemed to indicate it would be a lot more feasable if GH had moved on.
