Derrick Favors has been with the Jazz since 2011, and over the summer he signed a new two year, $32 million contract with the franchise. The 27-year-old has played a major role in the last five years of the Jazz's success, although fans and analysts alike are split on whether Favors and Rudy Gobert can function in the same team.

Favors has been moved from his preferred center position in order to accommodate the Frenchman and he has once again struggled to consistently make an impact. Favors is currently averaging 10.9 points and 7.1 rebounds, although he is only playing 23 minutes-per-game.

This is his lowest number in five years, and his influence on the team is fading. Ultimately, it looks as though Favors could be listed for trade by the Jazz, as the franchise looks to add more variety to their roster.
