NBA Free Agency: 5 Best Power Forwards Available in 2018

#4 Derrick Favors

defense

Since joining the league in 2010, Derrick Favors has been one of the more efficient big-men in the league. His 51.9 career effective field goal percentage places him in the top 10 most efficient forwards/ centers since he was drafted.

Playing along with a premium shot blocker like Rudy Gobert, his shot blocking abilities are often not appreciated. Favors averaged at least one block in six of his eight seasons in the league and recorded a streak of 11 games with at least one block this season.

Even with his relatively small playoff experience (26 games played), he proved how clutch he can be for his team in the postseason.

In the first round of the 2017 playoffs, Favors had 17 points and 11 rebounds off the bench in Utah's Game 7 win against the Clippers. In the same round this season, Favors helped the Jazz steal home-court advantage against Oklahoma City Thunder, by scoring 20 points and grabbing 16 rebounds in Game 2 of the series.

Even though Favors doesn’t really stretch the floor as some teams want from power forwards, he can still score the occasional three-pointer and be a defensive leader.
