Oh noes, somebody rounded up a half a stat, call the reality police, if it ain't exact science it can't be on a message board.

You're basically saying Favors, who averages 0.9 bpg in 20 minutes, would be a top 2 blocker in this league if given 10 more minutes a game.

I'm not being too harsh. I'm just trying to contain all the overrating a little bit.

Favors still work on progress... He's like Hayward in the sense that they both need to learn to be more aggressive

Yep. I think it's good for the confidence/aggression level to have them both playing together more, I just wish it was because they were both starting.

Hayward and Favors run a pretty effective pick and roll -- best on the team IMO (though that's not saying much).

yes but i could be wishful thinking, i can easy imagine Fav career stats being on level 15/10, but probably for most peps that would be underachieving.

Favors has had a superb road trip so far.

Per 36 minutes he's been averaging about 25/12 on 60% shooting over his last 4.

There is no reason why he shouldn't get 20+ mins a game. PERIOD!!!!

Have you been watching Favors, he's attacking the basket the moment he touches the ball. Sometimes at a fault where he picks up a offensive foul. Teams read the scouting report so the moment he makes a move the opponent flops.

Well half the time when he's in with Big Al he'll just run the court and set picks, doesn't demand the ball or look for his offense, kinda like Hayward

Sam Amico, who is generally pretty decent, says Favors is on the trade block, Jazz want a PG or SF :/

Yeah not happening. Just because a team has asked for Favors doesn't mean he is on the block.

I've heard about this before too and I just don't see it happening. Unless someone really overpays for him, I see no reason to give up on him yet.

I thought I saw a power move across the middle out of him last game. He gets that going and he'll be a keeper for sure.

Yeah, he had a good drive to the basket last game where as soon as he caught the ball he took off for the rim, a very good sign.

And there is no way he's on the trade block, that's ridiculous.
