I have more confidence that Gobert will up his offense than Kanter will up his defense. He will forever be a net negative on defense IMO. However in a recent interview I posted Kanter admitted that he needs to work on his defense and in particular pick and roll defense. Kanter is actually pretty athletic for a big man and has medicore wingspan. He has all the tools to be as good defensively as Nurkic or Omer Asik. If he learns a thing or two from Steven Adams and Collison he still has some hope. He is averaging 0.8 blocks last 10 games after averaging 0.4 before that with OKC. He is slowly improving but I don't think anyone can say that he doesn't have Zach Randolph potential.
This is just closure. Everyone needs closure.

I predict 0's across the board. I'd like to think my booing had a little to do with Katcer missing the playoffs. Lol

Don't worry Dal. People with a lot of failures in life like to root for others to fail so that they can feel better about their own problems. Pray for him. Or blow something up for him. Whatever it is you people do.

I'm not a failure in life at all and I'm enjoying it a lot.
For one, the whole situation is hilarious. If you don't see the hilarity in it, I feel bad for you.
Two, there is something in human nature, even for successful people, that wants us to see some kind of retribution against those who insult us.
Now, my understanding is you're a Jazz fan, or used to be, right? What's funny then is that Kanter basically talked crap on you and you're sitting here defending the guy (Unless you're not a Jazz fan, which in that case I would like to know what the hell you're doing on this board).

Kanter will average 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 blocks, 0 steals, 0 FGAs, 0 FGs, 0 FTAs, 0 FTs, 0 Turnovers, with a defensive and offensive rating of 0 in 0 games in the 2015 NBA playoffs.
Even if the Thunder were in the playoffs with their 45-37 record they still would have kept their pick this year since it was top-18 protected and would have been number 18.

Pretty funny to think Kanter was fortunate enough to be traded to a legit championship contender, bragged about being on a playoff team, talked smack about his old team, and his team is now a lottery team. For Viny, Blue Elephant and others, that is funny and enjoyable just from a general sports perspective, independent any connection to the Jazz.
