ENES KANTER's 2nd Match is staring now :) >>Turkey - Germany<<< LIVE MATCH LINK HERE :) <<<

[MattMan]

I think his play was underwhelming in the TWO games we've seen that were streaming in such high quality on CNN Turk...............I think it's fair to right him off as a bust.

*excuse me while I continue the sarcasm*

Not to mention that the Turkish PG's were very good at distributing the ball. Their shot selection was fantastic and always were looking to the big men down low.

*end sarcasm*

Anyone that draws any conclusions abot Kanter's ability from these two games is simply a pessimist. Did you watch how these games were played? How many times was there a play ran to feed the post (Hint: Guess low)?

Do you think the guy that put up 34 (iirc) against Sullinger, Jones, Barnes, etc. was simply lucky? Did all the games in u19 mean nothing, but somehow does for Jonas? Did dozens and dozens of NBA GM's, scouts, etc. just totally miss it?

It will be a while before we know the answer to these questions, but if you blame Kanter's lack of production on him, you either didn't watch the games, don't understand the game, or are trolling.

No, I believe he was simply bigger than them.

No, I believe he was simply bigger than them.

Not certain your point. Are you saying he's just too small to be an elite NBA player? Incidentally, this is NOT homerism, I simply disagree (having watched the games) that a whole lot can be determined by them.

Thank god someone said it.

No, Im just saying the reason he dominated that game vs Sullinger and company is because he was bigger than them. Not saying he can't be good, but he won't be good right away.

with his kneepads and the way he bounces around the court, he reminds me of alonzo mourning without the shotblocking & with the tenacity of reggie evans on the boards.
am seeing the in-between of those two players with more range, as his future

I'm not convinced he has range yet. He had a wide open 16 footer and he looked timid to shoot it and ended up pump faking and passing out.

 

[Dr. Jones]

He has range, but it's not his game and never has been. He plays much more like an American big in that he loves contact, loves to push and shove his way around. He's also a bit of a trash talker (a little). I don't think you'll see him use his range like other euros .. he knows where his advantages are and enjoys exploiting them. I think he's still got some serious rust, but I also think his learning curve will be much smaller than most are expecting. One year.

Part pessimist, part realist. You may be right, time will tell. I hate to break it to you though, dozens of GMs and scouts have totally missed it before. I could give you plenty of names, but there is no point. I hope you're right.

 

[Revolution 9]

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that his play is underwhelming... I expected dominance at the #3 pick.

In his second game back after sitting for a year? Give the guy some time.

 

[Mission Accomplished]

It takes time for bigs to get their game to where they dominate. Look at Dwight Howard he was underwhelming his first couple of season. Even to the point where Okufar was looking to be the better player. Then look at the turn around. I like Kanter because he can develop into a Memo that likes to bang! Plus, they are running horrible offense where most of the time he is setting picks at the top of the three point line. Or when they screen and roll the pg doesn't know when to get him the ball.

 

[larryselbows]

I'm not trolling. Believe me, I want Kanter to do well like everyone else. He's not getting the ball much, I can see that. But despite all those factors, let's face it, he's not producing like I hoped he would.
