9/11/3 + 2 blocks over the last 5 games.
He really showed his value in last nights game vs Denver. Great defense vs Jokic. He has to be one of the strongest players in the league and for someone of his size and weight he has good foot speed.
I actually watched Favors play the other day. It looks like he has increased his playing weight considerably. /random aside.
I think next to Gobert he made some adjustment to improve his movement on the perimeter. That probably included less weight. Now that he is playing fulltime center the additional weight is probably benefitial against the bigger matchups.
I was really impressed by his post defense against Jokic who is one of the strongest players in the league himself. Jokic went all out to back Favors down and couldn´t move him at all. Same on the other side of the floor. Favors is a walking brick wall. His screens are incredible.
