Thanks to the injury barrage that struck the team, the Utah Jazz fell just short of having the 2015-16 season that they had originally envisioned last fall. This is especially true on an individual level for the players who ultimately got bit by the injury bug.
Derrick Favors is perhaps the prime example of this; the team’s starting power forward was never the same after missing more than a month of action early in the season.
One of the areas where Favors’ game was most impacted by his injuries was in the mid-range, where the slow and steady progress he had displayed in recent seasons came to a sudden, screeching halt last year.
