Brandon Knight had the best workout with the Jazz

Most mock drafts have Kanter going 6 to Washington. I highly doubt the Jazz draft Kanter unless they are looking to deal him right away. Just my thoughts.

Not to mention Okur is in a contract year and is probably going to work his *** off to get in shape and contribute to the team. What does Kanter add to this team that we don't already have in one of our players?

Worst of all if Millsap can't play the 3 effectively, then we are stuck in a situation where we can't even play Kanter any minutes.

Say you're the Dallas Mavericks and you have the opportunity to draft Dirk

Do you say no because "Jason Terry can't play the point"?

You draft the guy, see what you can get for your other guys.

The End.

So you are comparing Kanter to Dirk? Really?

The title of this article is quite misleading. It was really the only comment related to 'the bestness'... It has to be a favor to KOC for more smokescreen. We need more smokescreen.

Not right now obviously.. but fundamentally:

1. 3pt shot? Yes
2. Dribble & drive game? Yes
3. Inside game? Yes
4. Free throw shooting? Yes
5. 7 Footer? Near enough
6. Toughness? Yes
7. Clutchness? May be (it only took Dirk 13 years)

 

[BENTLEY]

Kanter seems more physical than Dirk whereas Dirk's a lights out shooter.

Jury's out but NHS game they basically scored same points. Oh, and I think Kanter will be a superior rebounder.

BPA - whoever falls.

Is Kanter as quick as Dirk? I don't see it.

Clearly Kanter is better because he scored more points in that same tournament game 13 years apart.

1 pt better. It's quantifiable. Somebody gets it.

I think he really is. Pretty shocking stuff, can't wait to see what the next 7 days will bring.

The whole crux of this is how do we know he has "all that?" Is there more evidence for us fans than PKM feedback and the Nike hoops video?

what do you have to back it up?

If you read the post I said "Fundamentally".

As in - does he have the fundamental (i.e., shooting mechanics) to consistently hit a 3pt? I'd have to say yes. A number of videos have been posted on this site demonstrating just that.

The same with Free throws, inside game, etc, etc. His high school videos demonstrate that he can fundamentally do those things.

Valanciunus for example - I don't think he has the fundamental to consistently hit a 3pt. Nor can Vesely hit FT.

Knight > Kanter.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

And Dirk and Kanter are nothing alike. Hotttnickk is an idiot. Kanter is more of a big man who can step outside and hit some shots. Dirk was a big man who made his name from the outside, but eventually developed the inside.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

He has more of a chance becoming Channing Frye than Dirk.

 

[AlaskanAssassin]

You really can't compare Dirk's game to anyone else. He's so unique. We won't be seeing someone consistently shooting midrange fadeaways off the wrong foot for a long time.

Could Kanter be as good as Dirk someday, I guess it's possible, but their games won't be that similar.

So you have nothing to back it up

I bet Hotttnick is going to respond by putting some words in bold.

 

[Jazz4ever]

If KOC ultimately goes with Knight I will give him the benefit of the doubt. However, the Jazz better feel real comfortable with Favors or Jefferson at center for a long time because there won't be another chance to draft a big again in the near future. They would be really wise then to move up that 12th pick to 7 or 8 and grab JV or BB.
