Utah Jazz forward Derrick Favors is putting in work this offseason.

After the myriad of injuries that plagued the team last season, Utah fell short of the final playoff spot — finishing behind the eight-seeded Houston Rockets.

Favors, who missed roughly a month with a back injury, struggled to regain his groove and the consistency that made him a reliable piece of Utah's starting front-court.

Here he is seen doing some individual workouts with former Jazz All-Star Mehmet Okur.

“Memo” was one of the best shooting big men of his time. The Turkish international started his career with the Detroit Pistons and was an NBA champion by his second year.

Okur's knowledge of positioning and mastery of the V-cut (as seen in the video) could be a huge help for Favors, since they both play the power forward position.

With center Rudy Gobert gobbling up rebounds in the paint area, Favors will be at times forced to work on the perimeter to give Gobert room to operate.

Memo knows being able to have a refined back-to-the-basket game and keeping a defender honest with a consistent jumper can definitely open up possibilities on the offensive end.

Mehmet Okur's mentoring could play dividends for the six-year forward who could see a breakout year for himself if he's able to take in his teachings.
