There are players from the 2010 NBA Draft class with more individual honors than Derrick Favors, such as multi-time All-Stars Paul George and John Wall. There are players with higher career scoring averages (DeMarcus Cousins, Gordon Hayward). However, few members of that group from a decade ago have consistently won as much as Favors, particularly in recent years. A member of the Utah Jazz for 8.5 seasons, the Georgia Tech product was an integral piece of Western Conference playoff squads in each of the past three springs. In ’17 and ’18, Favors was a part-time starter for Jazz clubs that defeated the LA Clippers and Oklahoma City in first-round series.
