Favors "Out of Shape"?

I Call Sheninagans on Kahn . sorry Buddy he ain’t dropping below 3. he might get picked at 2.

Thorn and Avery will see on Monday how out of shape Favors or Cousins is.

BS! It is harder for muscular guys when it comes to stamina but there is no way a young kid like that is out of shape.

This draft is making me a nervous wreck! I have developed an eye twitch lately and i think its the stress of this offseason causing it!

Can we please get lucky and grab turner?!!!!!

showed Cousins sweating a lot more…….. but also playing a lot better than Favors.

Having said that, I suspect Minnesota is playing head games to shake up the draft sequence. Ironically, it could have the effect of persuading NJ to pick up “the safe choice” (Wes Johnson) which is who Minny would presumably want more than Favors anyway. Hard to figure the logic of this.

Also answers the question why players might want to limit their workouts. Favors no doubt regrets working out for Minn…… specially when it looked like he was a lock to go top 3.

Minny is trying to sell the dream. Oh he out of shape. How did he get out of shape in a couple of weeks? As our small owner says, “We don’t believe you, You need more people”

The twitter accounting of his workout that cites him as having a great workout is inaccurate? Check out the fanpost on the Jonah Ballow twitter report that muwu posted. Then folks can draw their own conclusion. Mine is that after watching the Sac Kings video on Favors, I’m thinking the Kahn is full of it. This is the same numskull that drafted 3 PGs last year.

Favors may just not have the terrific motor to make himself great.

I posted up above but remember…..Favors has worked out a lot lately (not just for teams) but with strength coaches, shooting coaches, etc. The kid is 18. He could just be fatigued or battling a small cold.

And consider the possiblity that Favors or Favors agent realized there is no way he slips past 4 so why bust it in a workout for Minny when the real workouts are in Philly and NJ in the next few days? I was just visiting Minnesota with friends to see the Yankees play. There is not much to do there. We ran into AJ Burnett in the Mall of the Americas and when we asked him what to do in Minneapolis, his response was “You’re doing it”.

I’m so bored waiting for this draft. Couldn’t it be right now.

Just to clarify it was the coach Rambis that leaned over and said to Kahn “this guys out of shape”. The media present caught the comment and ran with it. I’m sure the Wolves would be happy with either Favors or Cousins. Johnson is really only talked about if the Wolves trade down. Currently we don’t have a real center (Darko out of shape off another team’s bench was our high point) and we are going to have to move a PF between Love and Jefferson regardless of who we draft (they don’t play well together). I’m really looking forward to the Cousins/Favors work out in NJ. I’m happy with whoever you don’t take. Wolves aren’t going to be any good next year anyway so I don’t feel too bad with a couple young big men that will take a little time to develop. What I’m looking forward to finding out most is if Cousins really does have quicker feet than Favors (down low not in the open court) as I don’t trust one test at the combine.

Lopez has a jump shot, doesn’t make him better offensively. Howard is clearly stronger and knows how to seal his man and get great post position and is much more effective down low. Just cause he doesn’t hit 20 footers doesn’t make him worst.

Avery likes Cousins. That is going to be a big factor in who the Nets draft.

1) Days before the draft rumors circulated that Dan Marino was “recreational drug user.”

2) This is the first time in their lives that these kids are doing these whirlwind cross country tours. It’s basically fly one day, workout the next day, and then airborne again. As a frequent flyer for my job, I can tell you that it took a long while to get used to it, sleeping in a different bed with a different pillow all the time. I still get sore & stiff from plane rides & hotel beds. It would not surprise me if these kids (not just Favors) are all completely wiped out at this point in the process.

In Favors’ workouts so far.

I do think it is a slight ploy by Minny, but more power to them. They’re just playing the game.

He must think he can play PF, right?

All this means is that Kahn wants Favors. Which ironically gives me some slight misgivings about Favors.

The Wolves just want Favors to drop.

Did I read that Bosh said BOTH the Knicks and Nets have a nice young core???

What do the Knicks have besides the Robotic Gallinari?

I think Bosh is one of those people who thinks Knicks will have David Lee.

I doubt Bosh would get along with BLopez anyway. Bosh wants to be top dog except to LeBron.

Derrick Favors has BUST written all over him and Cousins is a lazy malcontent as well.

Wes Johnson is a MAN and a GYM RAT who never stops working and never stops smiling about it, not some little punk who thinks he’s entitled, and he’s a freakish athlete who can jump out of the building and also knock down the jumpshot from anywhere, shallow, mid range or three!

This is such a no brainer its ridiculous, the only reason its not a slam dunk is because people natrually over-rate the BIGS … happens all the time … most common mistake in the draft by a country mile.

You don’t draft a player who’s ceiling is that of a good role player #3 overall.

That’s who (won’t contribute at all)

He’s a fat tub of chit and an over-rated athlete/player.

At least Cousins is a legit talent, but he’s lazy, entitled and a head case.

Wes Johnson will be an immediate starter and a borderline all-star in year one, mark it down!

You can have a low body fat and still be in terrible condition.

Heck if you’re an 18 Y/O athlete and you don’t have a 6.5 BF you’re a lost cause, but that doesn’t mean your body is defined.

You don’t want an insane 2/3 athlete like Wes Johnson to get tight with weight lifting. You want him to stay fluid, wirey and flexible. But you want him in condition to go 48 minutes and Wes is already int hat type of shape, because the kid parctically lives in the gym.

This kid can run and jump all day and all nite, and his length is terrific as is his jumper.

hope it happens soon

I’m not gonna argue about it, I said what I had to say, told you all Favors is a BUST waiting to happen. Now take him and see what happens. If that’s who you want, go ahead and take him.

Good luck, you’re gonna need it.

Although I like Favors for his defensive ability I keep coming back to the fact that Cousins is a big time winner and it might not be in a box score that make people understand why he’s a big reason for it..

If it was anyone other than Mini I’d be concened but I think Kahn and crew ain’t geat at their jobs.
