re: Derek favors good or terrible?

I think some people look to blame the center any time something happens in the paint but it’s not a completely fair way to judge the position defensively in an era with the three second rule and restricted area.

When a guy like yes, Zion, gets beat of the pick and roll or misses a help assignment. The center can only do so much and often has to choose one of several bad options including getting himself into foul trouble. But I see situations like that and then people blaming Favors for the breakdowns of others and that to me isn’t really fair. Our on/off with him is pretty clear. As is the games we have to play without him. They guy is a really good defender.

Frankly, he is probably the best big that will be available to us outside of trades. And if Hayes could start working with Vinson, that would be a pretty good veteran/youth combo.
