Looking at the future: Derrick Favors

[Geaux_Hawks]

I don't get the hype on Favors. I'm not saying is not good, but I see lots of people talking like he would be clearly better than Monroe while :
UTA is at -2.3pts NET On/Off court with Favors (+12pts with Gobert, +7.4 with Hayward and +6.8 with Hill)
(the previous year, Favors was at +1.1 and Gobert +3.9)
MIL is at +7pts with Monroe (best of his team)
and Monroe is only 1 year older... but it's like Favors should be paid more than a supposed overpaid Monroe

For what it's worth, Monroe has a PER of 21.23 and Favors 15.88

I think both are actually quality players, and wouldn't mind having either. Style of player is a bigger issue, but other than that, I don't mind either.

I don't think it's fair to use Favors injury year as comparison to Monroe not being injured though.

If I had to pick one, I'd prefer Favors.

I'm not sure if Favors will be an actual target for the Hawks in 2018, but he will officially be a free agent and Hawks will have cap space. For better or worst I think the Gordon departure will have an affect on Favors

I'm sure he has his eyes set on leaving barring an insane offer.
