Favors on All-Rookie Second Team

[Luigi]

I thought Davis was going to be a PF, but, looking at him he looked very slight and short for a PF. His game seemed based on finesse as well. I wonder if these things hurt him. Favors on the other hand looks like a large PF with a power game.

Davis might have had better numbers, but, I think he's going to struggle if he can't make the transition to SF as he just doesn't look like he's big enough for PF to my eye.

I think these selections are not based on position. It's basically an NBA sanctioned top 10 list.

Ok, again I would like to ask....didn't Ed Davis miss a bunch of games with injury? That would explain his absence.

He played 65 games. That can have an impact (Favors played in 78), but I'm not sure if it would be enough to lose a team selection. I wonder what they are looking for, or if it is a generally undefined award.

lol at DAvis being a sf. He is not quick enough nor does he have any jumpshot(yet) but he is a rebounding machine and will be a all star power forward in this league.

Well, he did have a nice rookie season. Seemed a little like Jeremy Evans in the game I saw of him. Maybe a shorter Jeremy Evans.

I'll be surprised if he ever cracks teh allstar roster, but, good on you if he does.

He's only 6"9.75 but he has a standing reach is 9ft with 36 inch vert which is a lot more than adequate for a pf. And how many games did Utah win with Favors when DWill left.

1 more than the Raps. Take that!

In all seriousness, the Raps sucked a bag of dix this year, and it was quite disappointing to see them fail to do better than the Nets. We really wanted more ping pong balls.
