Kanter looks like he has no offense. Has no idea what to do when the ball gets to him
Something specific to watch for with Kanter
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
Fair enough.
If he were a vet, like Gasol, then he didn't play average d. Though, I think the rest of us were, in fact, considering his age/experience/rust factor/etc.

If a rookie big in his first game plays a good defense on the likes of Josh McRoberts he deserves to be praised.
Josh McRoberts blows terribly. He has no one on one game at all. He is good because he is a very quick and athletic 4 man who can dunk in the open court, or if you forget he is on the court. If Kanter had gotten shook, like he did on a similar face-up move by Gasol, I would have been hysterical.

Josh McRoberts is your typical average PF in the NBA. If a 19-year-old rookie steps on the court in his first game and is ready to defend an average player at his position he is a pretty solid defender.
And if Pau Gasol could be even moderately slowed down by rookies playing their first games he would not be the 6th highest paid player in the NBA.
Couple question for people who have watched Kanter since birth.
1. Where is the mid-range game? I feel like it would improve our offense a lot if he at least acted like he was thinking about shooting it. I know he can shoot because he has a pretty FT form and I see him draining them. If he could start hitting 15-20 footers that would really open up his offense and the team's offensive flow.
2. What the hell is that thing he does with the ball when he gets it at the elbow then starts to spazz chest the ball in and out repeatedly?

Like previously stated, I'm not grading any player on a rookie scale. This is not future evaluations. This is today's evaluation.

That **** is hilarious. I laugh every time.
Yeah, I've seen people do it before, it's a common move. They usually give it one pump though. Kanter pumps the hell out of it though. It just looks hilarious.
1. I don't know that his number will be called for jumpers. Too bad, at least we could see something worth watching. He does have that game though, for sure.
2. It's called a zswyieghy. He's mimmicking a Turkish Peahen mating dance and it's Enes' way of making fun of the defenders and getting them to bite so he can spin to the hoop .. problem is most guys in the NBA don't know the Turkish Peahen mating dance.

With that said, Gasol is one of the most crafty bigs/players in the league.
