Here's a lengthy head-to-head analysis of the two top Bigs in the NBA draft. Link:

If you are interested in the NBA it's worth the read.

ACF,

You've probably seen quite a bit of Favors, do you think he could be as good as that guy is saying, like a "Dwight Howard" of PF's?

I've never seen Favors play.

I don't think he is going to be at Howard's level. It is a bit hard to say. I like Favors but Hewitt's system at Tech was remedial and they didn't do much to feature or develop the young man. I think he will be very good but I don't think he will be as strong and physically dominant as Howard.

Cousins to me is a much more polished player than Favors. Some unpolished players become Amare Stoudamires or Dikembe Mutombos and some become Chris Wilcoxes or Darko Milicics. I don't think Favors is going to be a bust at all, but I am impressed enough with Cousins that I don't think I could pass on his combination of size and skill.
