Favors

[Xiao Yao You]

Some of an interview with him:

Tired of true rumors:

I'm relieved now. I'm with a team that, hopefully I'll be here for a while. So my name won't get thrown around in the trade rumors anymore.

Wants to be here.

Working with big-man coach:

I would love to, but I'll just have to work on my own til they get that coach.

Will the Mailman deliver?

Strengths and weaknesses:

Strengths, probably my defense, rebounding, blocking shots.

Just what they need. See ya big Al!

Personality:

Kind of a low-key type of guy. I don't like being in the spotlight that much.

Sounds like he's their type of guy.

From another article:

Favors also claims to be a hard worker who is eager to immerse himself into the Jazz's ways.

If this is true the sky should be the limit for the kid. Wonder if he's done growing? Maybe he'll grow a few inches into their center?

Added Harris of Favors: "I think he's still trying to figure out what he does well. He's very athletic. He's a smart player, big body, strong kid. He's only 19 years old. He's got a lot of room for growth."

Sounding good.

Seems like a good fit for us, still needs a lot of time to develop as he's only 19, but I'm fine with it. I hope we bring in Karl as a possible coach to get him into a great player.

And another:

A big-man coach would aid Favors, and he acknowledged that he would enjoy having a dedicated tutor. Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said several options are being explored, but nothing is settled.

Time to put up or shut up Karl.

Seems like a quiet shy kid. Bring Malone and turn him loose.

[Xiao Yao You]

Definitely time for Karl. He should have been here for Boozer/Milsap/Jefferson.

[DeronMillsap]

I hope Favors gets at least around 25 mins a game. I think we've seen enough from Hayward, Bell and Miles. Cut 5 minutes off each of those 3 and give it to Favors.

Not sure how that would work in a line up set though. LOL

Good Luck to Favors and I hope he becomes a beast which im sure he will.
He really can get those Offensive Rebounds and Block shots also has good transition Defense.

He can really be good given the Minutes. He has Promise. Harris had a good game. Props on the win.

Thanks. I hope Deron stays with the Nets and Prokhorov builds a good team around him.

There were rumors about Kirilenko playing for the Russian billionaire but he struck a gold with D-Will.

Anyway yea when Deron does not get the calls he does get a bit mad. I hope the Nets build a good team around him.

[DeronMillsap]

So after two games I'm noticing Favors makes a big defensive difference in the game, even more so than Jefferson and Millsap at times.

Seems like whenever he's in, the opponents don't score easily. Tonight in Detroit, whenever Favors was in the game the Pistons didn't have an offensive rhythm. They scored but never in bunches or made a run.

[UtahJazzFan88]

Yeah, I think he's going to be good down the line. He really needs to work on those free throws and extend his range.
