Gordon Hayward. Derrick Favors and Rudy Gobert need some help
With less than 30 games left this season the Jazz leaders are walking the talk, but is anyone following? Ideally your team is well rounded, deep, and have players who can cover for one another. When you develop your team through the NBA draft, Free Agency, and through trades it's likely that if you stick with it you can achieve that. If your team is mostly built up of draft picks you do get a funny skew. And this is precisely where the Utah Jazz are right now. If you look at their season stats this year you see that the leaders are Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors. They got the most...

Utah Jazz: Derrick Favors wants to add assists to his repertoire
New Orleans • Quin Snyder preaches the importance of playing with the pass. That goes for his big men, too. So the Utah Jazz coach was plenty pleased with center Derrick Favors following Saturday nights win over the Sacramento Kings. Of all the things Favors did to help his team secure the win, the big mans career-high with five assists drew the most acclaim.
