Derrick Favors
Favors is currently known for his impressive efficiency, one thing Golden State would value. This past season he shot 62% from the field. He also holds a true shooting percentage of 62.4%, the 18th best in the league.
Favors also proved to be a versatile player as he is ranked in defensive rating and block percentages. Not typically known as an elite defender, Favors would add to the team’s frontcourt nicely, either as a complement to Draymond Green or as the captain of the second unit.
Likely to pricey for Golden State, Favors would be a great addition. Down from averaging over 16 points per game in Utah to single digits this season, there’s a chance that Favors could be the team’s mid-level exception signing.
Favors not being a three-point threat is a bit concerning as Golden State has heavily valued shooting over the last few seasons. Having Favors and Chriss in the frontcourt wouldn’t provide too many small-ball lineups.
He’s still an efficient big man with high potential on a team willing to feed him. For Golden State, it could work out well, but several things would have to fall into place first.
