Favors gets all-star invitation
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
South Atlanta center Derrick Favors has been selected to play in the Boost Mobile Elite 24 basketball tournament later this summer at New York’s famed Rucker Park.
This tournament will feature 24 of the top players in the country. The 6-foot-9 Favors and Lance Stephenson of New York were the first two players selected for the game, which will be played on Aug. 22.
Favors, the AJC Class AAA player of the year, is considered the top recruit in the country by several recruiting services. Last season, he averaged 23.7 points, 17.1 rebounds and 9.1 blocked shots and was named to several national All-American teams.
