Utah Jazz big man (Derrick Favors) thinks he should have also been packing his own bag this week for a trip to the USA basketball mini-camp in Las Vegas. Instead, the 24-year-old Favors was left feeling snubbed when his name was once again left off the list of 34 invitees.
“I was frustrated for a while,” Favors said at the team’s practice facility Monday, his feelings somewhat tempered after having a few days to digest the news. “Overall I got over it. They picked the guys who they wanted to get. The only thing I can do is continue to work hard, continue to work on my game and prove my point next season.”
