What's been lost in the Gob-era is just how much Favors has improved. He is consistently good/great every night. #UTAatDEN

They're also the best at forcing turnovers (17.2 per game; tied with Philly). Keep an eye on that. The Jazz have been turnover happy this year and Hayward's committed 13 of them in his last two games. • Part of the Buck's defensive success has been the play of Khris Middleton, who has become a not-so-secret talent.Uh oh. Khris Middleton getting love at #SSAC15. He's going to get expensive. "He's the new Shane [Battier]!" - @dmorey
— Andy Larsen (@andyblarsen) February 27, 2015 Middleton boast's Milwaukee's best defensive rating; teams score an average of 95 points per 100 possessions when he's on the floor. • The Greek Freak might be a star, but Milwaukee has nice pieces elsewhere. John Henson is averaging 7.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game. He likes to use a little hook shot in the paint. • Michael Carter-Williams is averaging 7.5 point (54.4 eFG) and six assists in his two games since being traded to Milwaukee. His 3-point shooting is questionable at best, but I love the point guard's size and am super interested to see what he can become under Jason Kidd, and surrounded by more talent than he was in Philly.
