Professional career

Spain (2005–2013)

Faverani arrived in Spain at age 14 and started playing for Unicaja Málaga's junior ranks. In 2005, he joined Clínicas Rincón Axarquía of the LEB Oro, the junior team of Unicaja Málaga. In 2006, he joined the Unicaja Málaga senior team where he made his Liga ACB debut during the 2006–07 season. He also spent time with CAI Zaragoza in 2006–07, playing 24 games in the LEB Oro. For the 2007–08 season, he was loaned to Gipuzkoa BC. In 2008–09, he played seven Euroleague games for Málaga while also spending time with Clínicas Rincón Axarquía.

After going undrafted in the 2009 NBA draft,[2] Faverani parted ways with Málaga on August 26, 2009.[3] The next day, he signed with CB Murcia.[4]
