Rudy Gobert & Derrick Favors – Mashed Potatoes & Gravy

Every Thanksgiving dish has to include something along the lines of mashed potatoes and gravy. That is an essential dish to the perfect Thanksgiving table. The Jazz have their own version of mashed potatoes and gravy with their stout front line of Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors.

Gobert is the gritty and scrappier of the two players so he can be given the potatoes role. Gobert isn’t afraid to mix it up and bang inside with the bigger players in the league.

Favors, on the other hand, is the more skilled and smooth of the two big men and that’s why he’s getting the gravy role. These two can work without each other just as mashed potatoes and gravy can work together alone but who doesn’t want to see these two together. Just like who doesn’t want to see Gobert and Favors dominate together.
