Derrick Favors has heard the criticisms. He, more than anyone else, is disappointed with how his injuries hobbled him and kept him back last season. This year it’s going to be different according to the Utah Jazz power forward.
“I’m ready to go,” said Favors. “As soon as the season was over, I took maybe a week off, and I went back work. I knew what I needed to do to get my body right.”
Many before the start of last season had Derrick Favors pegged as the Utah Jazz player that would be an All-Star and All-NBA player first before Gordon Hayward and Rudy Gobert.
