Don’t call it COMEBACK award

The Fesenko goes to… Derrick Favors.

2016-17 Derrick Favors was a hot mess. He hobbled around the court, struggled to keep pace with those around him and looked to be on the fast track toward an Al Jefferson-esque role at the end of the Atlanta Hawks’ or some other lowly squad’s bench.

This year’s Faves has returned to previous levels of radness. He played in 77 games for the Jazz band, his highest total in five years, and averaged 16 points and nine boards per 36 minutes along the way.

But don’t call it a COMEBACK!
He’s been here for years…
He’s rocking his peers…
Puttin’ suckers in fear…

And so on…
