Re: Utah & Indiana
And as long as I'm here bugging you folks, what's up with Dunleavy? Is he in your plans or is he going to be testing his worth on the market elsewhere next year?

Tmac?
Can't we do a little better comparisons? Howard averaged .3 blocks in 31 minutes for his career. Favors had .9 in 19 minutes. Favors is long and athletic. Howard was unathletic and not long. Howard was a terrific outside threat. Favors isn't much of an outside threat.
Just a terrible comparison.
The Tmac comparison is a little stronger, but, Tmac was a gifted scoring pogo stick. I don't think gifted scoring pogo stick when I think of George. (look at differences in blocks if you like)
Try again.
McDyess. I forgot which one out of McDyess, Shareef, and Juwan had the blocks. Favors' ceiling I feel is like a prime McDyess, or what a prime McDyess would've been. I'll admit I've only seen him in a handful of games this season, but what I saw reminded me of that.
As for George's pogo-stick abilities, watch the tape. He'll have a little less scoring explosiveness than T-Mac, but his defense is better. Blocks is a different kind of thing. That's more about positioning than straight jumping ability. George got 2 blocks a game vs. the Bulls in the playoffs, which is when he's seeing significant floor time, unlike the sporadic play he saw in the regular season.

Re: Utah & Indiana
Ok, I'll take the McDyess comparison. That's seems more in line with the TMac one. Both a bit on the optimistic side.

Re: Utah & Indiana
I too agree on the Mcdyess comparison. The younger Mcdyess of course.. but when? Favors is still too raw, and everyone is just hoping the guesses turn out right.
But you guys, i mean Utah, have too much PF"s in your roster, and now with Kanter in town, Al Jefferson would be pushed back to his natural position. Meaning he'll be in the same mix as Favors, Millsap, and Jeremy Evans. Not to mention Okur can also play PF. It'll be really interesting how Utah would deal with the logjam this offseason.
Burks will be special. He'll prove everyone wrong for skipping on him.
