I voted for Favors
Submitted by Jonathan (not verified) on Wed, 2010-01-06 14:39.
DeMarcus has been undervalued by NBA scouts due to his reputation for immaturity and laziness. While the former has reared its head on more than one occasion already this season, the latter seems to have been addressed (if not totally corrected) by Calipari. He has a mature skill set, and is athletic for a young big his size.
Still, I went with Derrick because from what I've seen in games he has a greater impact, especially on the defensive end. His finishing ability is pretty rare for a bigman, as well, due to his world-class athleticism. Favors will be one of the more efficient PF/C in the league from day one because of this.
DERRICK FAVORS' POTENTIAL
CEILING: 70% Amare Stoudemire, 30% Dwight Howard
FLOOR: Al Horford
BASEMENT: Chris Wilcox
DEMARCUS COUSINS' POTENTIAL
CEILING: Derrick Coleman
FLOOR: 70% Rasheed Wallace, 30% Tim Thomas
BASEMENT: Eddie Griffin

Who is the better pro prospect? Despite Cousins's superior numbers (in 5 less minutes per game it should be noted as well), Favors has been considered the better NBA prospect? Agree or disagree?
