Sixers select Favors in ESPN's re-draft

This looks like as much of a no-brainer as the No. 1 selection. "With the Nets, Favors has shown tremendous promise as a rebounder and scorer in the paint and would have gotten plenty of minutes in Philly's rotation.

Which looks like a better foundation to build on: Jrue Holiday and Evan Turner as a backcourt duo or Holiday and Favors as a pick-and-roll combo? Holiday and Favors are two of the youngest players in the league, and both possess a demeanor that suggests they are very serious pros." -- David Thorpe

Success will be the best revenge

I don’t get Turner right now. Even when he gets his minutes, he never shoots the ball. When he shoots the ball he misses. He is great in the way of rebounds and assists but points still win games.

I’m not sure my read on Favors (who I love) is very serious professional, at least moreso than your average young kid.

I think he said that Turner wouldn’t even be in the top 20 right now in one of his chats. Turner’s been good in other areas I think people are putting to much on the PPG again when it comes to him like they do with AI9

He’s been a good rebounder and solid defender. Bad in every other area.
