Lance Martinez of My Detroit Sports sends over this original photo of Jazz forward Derrick Favors signing autographs at the Pistons and Red Wings new home venue, Little Caesars Arena, in midtown Detroit.

Favors was the third pick in the 2010 NBA Draft by the then New Jersey Nets. During his rookie season, he was traded to Utah, as part of the Deron Williams deal.

Favors has put together a solid NBA career, averaging 11.5 points and 7.2 rebounds per contest. The Atlanta native averaged 16 PPG in consecutive campaigns, during both 2014-15 and 2015-16. 

This season, Favors is scoring 12.2 points and grabbing 7.4 boards a night, for the 31-30 Jazz, who are currently tenth in the Western Conference.
