Anthony Randolph vs Derrick Favors

Now I understand that Randolph has not played much due to being in Pringles dog house, but when you compare the two you may be suprised with what you learn.

Favors is a 6'10" 245lbs 19 year old PF adveraging 6.3ppg 5.3rpg and 0.7bpg in 19.5mpg in his first year

Randolph is a 6'11" 225lbs 21 year old SF/PF/C who adveraged 7.9ppg 5.7rpg and 1.2rpg in 17.9mpg his rookie year, his 2nd season he adveraged 11.6ppg 6.5rpg and 1.5bpg in 22.7mpg.

Im not saying Randolph is anything great or a guarentee to be good or anything more than he is very comparable to Favors in the sence that they are both very young, very raw and very athletic. I feel that Favors is being over rated by Nets and Nuggets fans as well as the media while Randolph is being under rated. If anything Randolph is probally a better rebounder and shot blocker at this stage, he is also more versitle as he can defend 3 positions.

If I was Denver I would rather have Randolph than the future lottery protected draft pick they will be getting.
