Does Tyrone Corbin understand Derrick Favors' strengths?

Great defender and finisher, bad post player and shot creator...And yet Corbin keeps posting him up....Why? What is the point? Does he want to actively try to throw away offensive possessions or something?

He's actually got some decent post up skills when he is under control. But I agree, he'd be better off playing Faried style and crashing the boards. The offensive sets should be run through Kanter on the second unit.

Kanter should be this teams primary post up player. He gets good position down low and gets to the line. Millsap is too short, Big Al doesnt fight for position at all and is happy chucking up jumpers, and Favors is usually out of control.

^^ It's true, Kanter is the only guy on the team who fights for position. Al will use crafty moves to get better position after he has the ball, but he'll let scrubs just push him away from the basket. Favors doesn't even try and Millsap is too short to post up anyway.

Corbin should be playing Favors with either Big Al or Millsap, not with Kanter.......

No Corbin is doing the best. Kanter and Favors have to play together. They are the future of the team. Future all stars have to be working together.
