Kanter observations

[spycam1]

Kanter can rebound at an elite level; however, his offense will always be a problem. He takes too long to gather himself before going backup on offensive rebounds and he may be the easier center to block a shot on in the league. I know he is young and will improve, but I've never seen a NBA player have such a problem at the rim.

Yeah, cause that's one of those unfixable things...

Kanter's rebounding rate (percentage of opponent's missed shots that a player rebounds) is already up there with some of the best in the NBA. Granted, based off 2nd units' missed shots. But it does seem pretty promising to me:

1 Dwight Howard, ORL 24.0
2 Marcus Camby, POR 22.8
3 Anderson Varejao, CLE 21.0
4 Andrew Bynum, LAL 20.8
5 DeMarcus Cousins, SAC 20.7
6 Kosta Koufos, DEN 20.2
Samuel Dalembert, HOU 20.2
Enes Kanter, UTAH 20.2
9 Reggie Evans, LAC 19.8
10 Kevin Love, MIN 19.3

He Kanter can keep up with his defending/rebounding/close range dunks, I think he can built on that and become a pretty good player.

Oh for cryin' out loud, since when does mentioning that you are an American make you a Zenophobe ? Buck up laddy and be proud of who and what you are. Everyone else is, and rightly so.

For myself i am white and an American and a retired senior citizen. Damn that went down hill in a hurry!

Kanter needs a baby hook shot near the rim. That is a shot that won't be easily blockable.

Any statistic where Kanter ties with Kostas Koufos must be sure-fire indicator of greatness.

... make you a Zenophobe ?

Do you hate all ancient Greek philosophers, or just the ones who propose paradoxes of motion?

Only that it took Kuofos 4 years to get there and Kanter 15 games.

 

[Archie Moses]

I love the kid but I've never seen someone blocked so much.

 

[Grandpa Jazz]

Wow .. I'm sorry, sir.

I'll shut up now ! Just a politically-incorrect old person. And call me meat-head or something, anything but sir. Didn't mean to jump down your throat, under the right circumstances i might have made the same post. Don't believe he was being Xenophobic but if i thought he was or that it might get a laugh i could have posted that too.

Yes....yes you are.
