Favors Surprised at How Strong He Is But Wants to Get Stronger

It's fair to say that Derrick Favors is, as the old saying goes, growing into his body.
Asked by the Nets' Ben Couch what surprised him about his play in the summer league, the rookie replied, "Just how strong I was. I didn’t know I was that strong quite yet." Still, he said strength is an issue he still has to work on, among others: "That I need to work a little harder, in the post, on all things. Get a little stronger."
He added that after his last summer league game (23 points and 11 rebounds), he learned a bit about learning. "I didn’t come in expecting to dominate off the top. I had to get used to it, get a feel for the game. I feel like I gained a lot in Summer League."
On Tuesday night, Favors, Damon James and Terrence Williams all headed out to Las Vegas for the Tim Grgurich camp, an annual summer event for some 60 NBA players and rookies to be. Also on hand, a lot of NBA coaches and GM's but no agents or media.

His offensive game is going to take 2-3 years to develop fully
But working in the gym NOW means he can make an impact NOW. Keep up the hard work, Derrick.
Consequences will never be the same.
Tend to agree more with NI's perspective
I think those that claim Favors won’t be a servicable player for a year or two are severly overstating how raw he is.
Although it should be noted that NetsMets said “full develop” not develop as a whole.
I’m still one of the only ones who wants Favors to start from the get-go, so I’m not without bias.
I am talking about these comparisons to Dwight Howard.
Can we honestly expect him to be Dwight in any less than 2 years??? I know that nobody really has a clue how long it will take, like NI stated. But I do not realistically see a chance of him fully being as capable a player as he can be in any less than 2-3 years, despite the fact of how raw his game is.

You mean they know how long it will take him to develop to his highest level of play?
Well, they are the only ones. All you and I can do is assume.

Big deal..
The Nets have been wrong before….plenty of times.
Yeah to be fair, the Nets though Antoine Wright would be Allan Houston
Just because they think it, doesn’t mean it’ll happen
To be honest...
Dwight Howard is going into his 7th season and he has no semblence of an offensive game, aside from his athleticism and that disgusting hook that runs across the lane. Dwight Howard has the ability to score 25 points a game with just his athleticism, now I’m not trying to say that Favors is as athletic as Howard, but they did come out of the combine with identical measurements (Favors was 8 pounds heavier).
Now I don’t think Favors will ever be as dominating of a force inside as Howard is on defense, but I’m assuming that Favors will have a much more polished offensive game than Howard does now within 2 years.
I expect him to be as strong (because he has the body to do it), quick, as good of a defender but w/ a jumpshot! Won’t happen soon though.
I think he can be able to knock down J's
but there is no denying that his jumper ain’t the prettiest.

hahaha
who ever says that they’re surprised how strong they are LOL
You need to learn humble speak...
I didn’t know how strong I was = I didn’t realize I could manhandle guys at this level.
I hope one of the things he learned in Summer League
is to go to Billy King and demand TWill be traded (sorry Andres, had to do it ;)
Nets = Global
Knicks = Local
Favors have the one of the ugliest jump shot
but hey as long as its falling i have no complaints
The footage didn’t show anything too ugly. -slow maybe, but not ugly. It looks like he’s working hard on it.
Derrick “Hard Work” Favors reminds you to eat a balanced breakfast, stay in school, do your homework, eat your vitamins and work hard, kids!
If you're talking about his jumpshot from GT and the past, it's changed
because Avery and them have made tweaks to his shot. I don’t know how much it has changed, but it sounds like they’re still trying to improve it.
It would be hard
to criticize this kid. He is still talking like a kid. Doesn’t have that little arrogance and confidence we see from guys like Wall who btw is not that older than Favors. This kid will be good and hope that we are not going to trade him to get a big fish.
need to see him more in order for me get a better feel for the kid...right now, its alsmot like
he’s not even on the team yet…
gonna be interesting
He seems little
shy and laid back in the mold of Yi. Hope he will show little emotion in real games. He has all the tools. Again I hope they don’t trade him. I really like this kid.
B'days
Favors – 07-15-91
Wall – 09-06-90
Cousins – 08-13-90
So yes, he is about 10 months younger than Wall.
god i feel old.

talk about old
I was born when “I like Ike” was president.
Yesterday I turned 51 and I said to myself “God you’re getting old.” Then I remembered that I share a birthday with Mick Jagger who turned 66. Now that’s old!!! :)
But 66 doesn't seem as old as it used to!
Today one of my favorite employees turned 44. I hired him when he was 18. I told him he was catching up to me!

No way he is mentally strong enough
or will be physically fit enough for those numbers.
Some days he will have 10.
Some days he’ll have 22, others 2.
Some days where you think he would have 22, he’ll have 10, and where you think he would have 10 he’ll have 2.
…10 is a pretty good estimate though.
I’ve lost my mind. So glad the slow summer work day is almost over.
Could have been.
Fact of the matter was he was a number 10, and Cousins was a 4. He should have been our pick, maybe even the 2nd. And he would have been the first pick if John Wall was younger.

That is a fact not an opinion, not trying to make fun or anything just is what it is.
He is athletic. And being overweight should not be a problem when you are in the NBA.
Trust me, Cousins know he was out of shape, he was upset about it. He knows he needs to fix it, and there is no reason to think he won’t

If he cared about it that much
He would have lost the weight before he met with each team, Favors,Staudamire and Sean William are athletic. Cousins, Eric Dampier, and Zach Randolph are not.
Lmao great comparison lmao
i so believe Bynum is better defensively than brook. Think about what your saying man
My point was not that the Nets should have drafted Cousins
Remember I was a Favors guy, I wrote a piece about that on BR. But, I do think when it’s all said and done, Cousins will be a better player than Brook.
That's what NetsMets is arguing for
not me. I think the pick was Favors hands down. But, like I said I think Cousins will end up a better player than Brook.
No question has the ability to be way better than brook
but as our pick Derrick was 100% the right choice
Could have been converted into one easily.
If “converted” is even the right word.

Avery I believe said it as well have to find it but here
“The problem: He’s undoubtedly a five – say, the kind that Philly should seriously consider building around, but probably won’t. He’s lost some weight – down to 289, Gregg Polinsky said2 – but his size and skills say center, period.”
http://www.nj.com/nets/index.ssf/2010/06/the_cousins-favors_verdict_can.html
This is from Thorn
"With a player like Cousins, can he play forward? Is there any chance he can play power forward or is he strictly a five?" Thorn said. "
The one and only reason cousins was not picked is because of the belief that he is a true Center
I absolutely believe he could have been converted into a Power Forward, especially under our coaching staff. See Popeye Jones, Sam Mitchell.

1. Conditioning, 2. Attitude
Looks like he’ll get tired sooner than expected, he won’t be getting major minutes.
Of course he can work on it. The question is the desire to do it.
Which leads to the second reason, attitude.
Looks like a stubborn kid to me. He’s the type of person who can be a headcase later on.
I hope I’m wrong, but’s that’s what I’m seeing right now.
It’s true that he’s a lot better than Favors right now. But his upside or ceiling won’t be as high as Favors will gonna get.

brook has maybe 1 counter move..its a jump shot or a sweep shot...
maybe u can count his head fake and then go straight back up as a counter…but we rarely see him do anything else
Absolutely not true.
He was quite easily the best player in all of Summer League play. Some will argue for Wall and even our own Damion James, but if you watched the games it was quite clear that Cousins was the best player on the court. Clearly the most dominant.

not true? Did you watch the last couple of summer league games?
Atronic clearly said he looked horrible in those certain games, and he did.
I just like his willingness to be molded
Seems like he’s a sponge that wants to learn and do what the coaches tell him. When asked how did he find out about the Vegas camp, he simply said
Yeah. They sent a note to my house saying I’m going up there. So I’ll just pack my bags and go on my way.
He’s acting like he got a call from one of his boys to go play a pickup game at the park. Gotta love it..
"Hard Work"....

Cousins hasn't even played in the NBA
Looked horrible in the last couple of games, lets just all wait and see before we put Cousins in the Hall of Fame. The thing I like about Favors over Cousins is he seems like he has a better head on his shoulders, has more room to grow (Cousins is probably going to have weight problems his whole career, and is not going to get any more athletic) and he works hard. I would rather have Brook than Cousins, I just don’t trust Cousins need to see more, at least Brook is in better shape and more athletic can block shots which will lead to more growth that Cousins will not be able to entertain.
dude
why even entertain something so stupid?
Cousins hasn’t played a minute of NBA Basketball. Anyone running their mouths about stuff otherwise should be ignored or clowned.

why he is better than Brook in 2-3 years. Brook has 18-9-2 in his second year but Cousins still has to play a game. So based on what you think Cousins is better than Brook in 2-3 years?
I am stating my opinion.
It is my opinion that Cousins is a fantastic rebounder, and will average 13 a game in 3 years. Brook I do not think can do that. I honestly think there is no reason NOT to think he will be better than Brook in 3 years. I am basing my thoughts on his college play and the summer league, which, while may not be enough, is certainly not a bad thing to base opinion on.

Last year, exactly one NBA player averaged...

Remains to be seen if Cousins can stay on the floor long enough to put up those kind of numbers over an NBA season.
Idk about 13 boards
but he will beable to score at will if he lives up to his potential. But doesn’t mean we should have dreafted him
I seen some things in his last 3 games
And I dnt think 13 is a lock. D. Howard leaps over 7 rooters like it’s hopscotch and gets 13. Cousins will not get off the floor like Howard. He will box guys out like a brick wall but he’s not going to get those extra hustle rebounds
The support for your statements is
impecable.
Why don't you explain
why he is better than Brook in 2-3 years. Brook has 18-9-2 in his second year but Cousins still has to play a game. So based on what you think Cousins is better than Brook in 2-3 years?
Can't we over Cousins
We didn’t draft him. We drafts Favors
I feel like this is turning into a Cousins V. Lopez debate.
I was comparing Favors and Cousins, how did it get to Lopez being brought up?

Because u suggest to pick him that would put him in a battle with Lopez

Ok, now I'm on Revis Island
There is no way Cousins can do that.
I thought you meant simply dunk the ball like that.
If you mean skyscraping to throw it down, then fine I guess it is true Cousins cannot do that.

lies
There is no way that Cousins can jump 4 inches off of the ground. I watched him during SL, the bottom of his sneakers were still touching the floor when he went up to block a shot

And the Last thing the YOUNGEST team in the League Needs is.....
Say it with me class…
DISTRACTIONS!!!
Wait there is a nickname. If we insist on talking about this guy and whats done already, let’s call him “Distractions” Cousins. Who is Feeling it?
The NETS are coming!
I must admit I did not think about him+being on a really young team. It is no doubt a major risk.

And Distractions Cousins
Would no doubt think he was the team leader and lead with attitude and distraction. And immaturity.
The NETS are coming!
You think he would act like the big cheese?
And it depends on what type of immaturity we are talking about here.

hey guys, I'm in Sacramento
will give you guys update on Cousins.
I’m sure it will be all over the news, once he got kicked out of In-n-Out for eating all the burgers. LOL.
"Beat the Heat!"
OT: Cousins' role models in Sac. Read ...
Kings guard Tyreke Evans sentenced to informal probation for reckless driving, license suspended:

Antoine Wright:

"Beat the Heat!"
Not to talk bad about the kid, but
I noticed in several of the Kentucky games last year that Cousins talked back to coach Calipari. I thought to myself it’s a good thing it’s Coach Cal and not Bobby Knight.
the funny part is
…..Cousins is a trending topic on here, yet if we go over to the Kings board, I doubt you even see them mention “Hard Work”

That's cuz Cuz is a played out topic over there.
EvilCowtownInc: Screwin Suckaz over since 1985...... On Twitter
No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
Cousins should ask Brook...
…for the number of the girl that he was messing with before he lost 40 lbs this summer. That will cure any and all weight issues that Cousins may have for the next season or so.
"No one stands on the top of the world. Not you, not me, not even gods. But the unbearable vacancy of the throne in the sky is over. From now on...I will be sitting on it."
Based on Brook's track record
I’m gonna venture to guess that said girl is below Cousin’s standards…
If she's below DeMarcus' standards...
….I guess that means that the girl can’t cook

Well that means Cousins and Prokhorov have something in common, which leads me to believe...
Favors=bust
Prokhorov and Cousins like women that can cook?
heck, so do I. Eating take out and boiling hot dogs sucks once you get past a certain age

Net Fans
why are all these comments about the Next Eddy Curry.
Cousins is trouble
Um … This guy thinks going on a seafood diet is healthy. This guy think it’s ok to go to the NBA draft combine and tell them " I don’t lift weights" while every other prospect is busting their tail. This guy’s tells reporters that we did not see his sweet shooting stroke in college because the coach didn’t utilize it. Then to top it off, he ends Summer League by complaining about the refs.
If that doesn’t sound alarms, I don’t know what will.

Favors is going to be a bust just trade him, T-will, C-lee for West and Paul.
4 ALLSTARS
LOPEZ,WEST,HARRIS,PAUL AND A GREAT BENCH= 2011 NBA CHAMPIONS
I Know
Favors is going to be a beast, but three years comeon and Nets are NEVER going to get an All star not with King in charge.
No
I got some trust in King, he has made solid moves, but is he attached to these young asssets as most of these Net fans are is he going to be hesitant on amking moves. While these young players do have upside they havent proven themselves and these Fans would rather get rid of a proven Devin Harris who is a top five point guard when healthy.
Also I think the TV side of Things has helped Avery and king
In their development just basically looking at things differently.
Why Not
Under Avery looks way better than the team he had in Dallas that won 60 games and was 2 games from winning it all.
Dampier/Diop
Nowitski/Powell/Van Horn
Howard/Finley
Terry/Stackhouse/Daniels
Harris/Armstrong
vs.
Lopez/Petro
West/Diogu/Humpries
Outlaw/James
Harris/Morrow/Ross
Paul/Farmar
Because we still have to compete with LA
for atleast 2 years
Miami is lookin good
Orlando is going to be good for a very long time
And ur giving away Favors
"I didn’t know I was that strong quite yet."
Sounds like something a young Clark Kent would say right before he realized he was Superman. (and no I don’t mean Dwight Howard)
lol yeah I think he is still getting used to his body
Along with the NBA game new system etc, but I think he is ahead of schedule looks like a quick learner, if he didn’t have that last game I would be a little more worried, but sounds like he working hard but thats what “Hard Work” Favors does lol
I like this kid, eager to learn
Doesn’t know it all and is willing to be taught. It is kinda cute that he is even surprising himself with his own abilities.
I don't thinks he's a franchise player...
…trade him know while his value is high!

Favors is a real easy kid
to like. He’s the sort of teenager that when he comes around to pick up your daughter, you honestly believe that he’ll bring her back home by 10pm and that his intentions are honorable.
Cousins on the other hand!! If dude showed up around my house looking for my baby girl, I’d immediately fire a few warning shots and then bolt the doors.
More importantly,
Derrick would be the gentlemen as mentioned, but when baby girl’s ex-boyfriend stopped by at the drive-in and started harassing her and sullying her name, Derrick becomes a beast, puts the guy in his place and forces an apology from him in public, restoring the good name of the princess.
Meanwhile Cousins would have replied to the harassing ex with: “damn girl, aw snap. u crazy or something. I have a lot of money now, so I don’t need the hassle.”
Favors is Ritchie Cunningham
Cousins is the Fonz. The Fonz (Henry Winkler) ended up in a series of really bad movies. Ritchie (Ron Howard) became a Hollywood legend. Yup. That’s the ticket!!
War Favors!!
