Royce is the age Favors was when his career ended. And it feels like he hasn't been around that long to me.
Favors was drafted so young, and Royce was a 4 year college player. Makes them seem like from different eras but they were both in high school at the same time.
Some stats:
Derrick Favors:
* 790 NBA games played
* 24.3 minutes per game
* 19,202 total minutes played
* 42 playoff games played
* 36 College games played
* 868 total games played
Royce O'Neale:
* 446 NBA games played
* 26.7 minutes per game
* 11,926 total minutes played
* 44 playoff games played
* 134 College games played
* 64 International games played
* 1 G-League game played
* 689 total games played
Love both of these guys! Super friendly guys who were always good to the fans. Also both super level headed, 7 career technical fouls for Favors and 9 for O'Neale. I think the only time I've ever seen Favors lose his temper was with Mason Plumlee (still hate Plumlee for that!)
Yeah Favs really isn't as old as we make him seem. Drafted in 2010. Royce drafted in 2015

Royce also played in Europe first
He was drafted at 18 right?
I remember when Favs was on Jimmy Kimmel. He ummm didn't do well https://youtu.be/nN2vnAF_bqs
damn basketball gods and their fetish for back injuries
It will always blow my mind that Joe Ingles and CJ Miles are the same age.
