Kanter and Nike Hoop Summit History

Only one team plays in this game then? For a second there, I thought you were being outrageously intellectually dishonest.
 
i think this is what we have to go on in total - (as compared to "we cant evaluate Kanter on just one game" which I think is Borat's point)

* Kanter is on NBA radar, like Rubio, early on
* Kanter is a U17/U18 Euro MVP
* Kanter is recruited to go to Kentucky (Add Calipari's comments here...)
* Kanter is the Hoops Summit 34pt guy (record holder)
* Kanter practices some at Kentucky - PKM says Harellson says "Kanter is better than Cousins" (and all others he played against)
* Kanter practices at Kentucky - PKM says "held his own against Nazi " - NBA caliber (unless Nazi is too old to count now)
* Finally, NBA professionals are rumored to have Kanter going Top 4 in this years Draft (See Colton data version 13.0)

Do we have any other "evidence" that "proves" why he is in consideration for Top 4 pick in 2011 NBA draft?

This "evidence" doesn't prove that he'll be worthy of the pick, it just is what we have to go on. It is more than "one game."
But it is also reasonable that each of these points have a question mark around them. (...there are U18 MVPs who couldn't make NBA... etc.)

Also the definition of BUST is that of "not meeting expectations" Thee Jazz Fan has pointed out that only 4 players from the list in Borat's OP provide were EXPECTED to be something at the NBA level. The others weren't busts because they were not expected to be NBA players.
 
Unless Irving or Williams falls to the Jazz every player will be a risk at 3. I would much rather gamble on a 7 footer than gamble on a point guard.

I just have a feeling the Jazz will be kicking themselves if they pass on Kanter for Knight.

When in doubt always draft big, big men win you rings.

Not by much. U18 Euro MVP is nearly useless, and so is his pick-up games PKM saw and Harellson statement. It's all big bunch of nothing. The only thing that has some value is the Hoops Summit, but as I showed, this alone does not mean much. There are no records against meaningful competition - and the fact he missed nearly entire year in practice and whole year playing competitively.

I didn't address this comment, because I thought the answer was obvious, but let me spell it out for you. You have to look at entire list, not just 4 guys. If Kanter played anywhere, maybe he wouldn't be on the 1st round radar either, like many other guys who did well. But Kanter did not play for any senior team in Europe nor NCAA, so we just don't know. So, you have to look at entire list, not at 4 guys who were projected in the first round after they actually accomplished something. And out of this list, I see only 1 franchise player: Dirk.

May I ask why you chose point cut-off value of 15? Why not 10? That would prove you right even more. I'm struggling to understand since when 15pts game makes it outstanding for a player.

Why do you have to look at the entire list? And as a previous poster said, why did you pick 15 pts? Why not 20 pts? Why not 25 pts? Without explaining why 15 pts is the magic number, it is nonsensical for you to say you have to look at the entire list.

Also, please post the comparable list for U.S. players. I'm sincerely wondering how many of the 15 pt scorers of them are stars vs busts. And for that matter, how many of the 30 pt scorers are stars vs busts.
