Re: Derrick Favors [High School Senior] [video=youtube;j-z1roI7-fQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-z1roI7-fQ[/video]
I think I would. I'll buy into the idea that hes better than his stats suggested at GT because from the little I saw I tend to agree with those who say his coach and teammates never got him the ball or put him in a position to succeed. Furthermore I think that Cousins just isn't an above-the-rim player. I think he'll be a nice pro but his upside is somewhat limited. Realistically he kind of reminds me of an Al Jefferson. Good low post player who can score and rebound but probably won't give you much defense. Maybe a good sidekick but not a guy you build around. Favors is riskier but hes got a lot more upside as well. Hes got the potential to dominate with his athleticism. I don't think hes a guy you can build a franchise around either but he can be a guy who has a big impact on both ends of the floor. Hes raw-er, probably has a higher bust potential, maybe limited to only PF in the NBA but I would probably take him over Cousins based on upside. I'd love to get either one of them on the W's though.
