    The Nets plan to be patient with rookie forward Derrick Favors, but he hopes to earn the team's trust right off the bat.

    "My goal is to come in and get every rebound, try to score every time inside. Just play my part off the bench, come in, defend every minute," Favors said.

    "Coach [Avery] Johnson told me they'd give me time to develop. I don't know what my minutes will be, but I just want to work hard in practice and prove to the coaches they can put their trust in me when they put me out on the court."

    Favors, who New Jersey drafted with the third pick in June, only turned 19 in July.

    "I'm confident, but I just want to make sure I'm on point with everything so I won't come out there and get called for travels, mess up a play or miss an assignment," Favors said. "Just be prepared."
