SALT LAKE CITY -- Derrick Favors knows he has been the forgotten man in the Utah Jazz's grand scheme.

"I'm pretty much used to it," Favors said. "The whole time I've been here has been like that. It seems like everybody seems to forget about me all the time. That's what people kind of forget -- I can score the ball, too, when I get the chance.

"I definitely prepared myself this summer to be a big part of the offense, whether it's scoring or being a playmaker."

The Jazz are going to need Favors to produce.
