    Has all the tools to be an elite big man, good size, very athletic, always been a good rebounder and defender. Now his offensive game is finally showing some life.

    Q: "How good will Derrick Favors be?"
    A: "Not good enough to be in the GARM."

    Decent, but he's no Pattrick Patterson.

    He's only 22 yet it feels like he's been in the league for like 10 years now.

    I don't see him as future all-star, i could see him averaging 13-14 PPG and 11-12 RPG for the rest of his career

    Shouldn't this be in the DISH?

    But anyway, I'm still waiting for him to breakout. I have been waiting ever since he joined the NBA. Lots of potential and I hope he never sees it as long as he is with Utah ;)

    Lol, damn, so angry over an honest mistake. I'd hate to see what happens when someone intentionally does something to piss you off.

    I just don't see it with this guy. Great body and athleticism. It just seems to me that he processes slow and is slow to react/respond to everything. Just not impressed with him.

    Crazy, right?

    Anyway, at this point Kanter is the more intriguing prospect to me. Not necessarily for the Rockets; but in general, Kanter has a defined skill as a post scorer. His +/- splits are terrible and he has a lot to learn, but he has more upside than Favors.
