Derrick Favors is the longest tenured player on the Utah Jazz. He was the key piece back in 2011 when the Jazz decided to move on from Deron Williams. Favs was a rookie at the time, and just reached his 500th game played for the Jazz. He’s been a marque player for a long time. He has been a familiar face and reliable player that it’s almost become easy to take him for granted. His quiet yet confident presence will always be remembered.
He was critical in keeping the Jazz afloat when Rudy Gobert went out with injury earlier in the season.
