What's new

the ever-changing feelings about Enes Kanter

I also like the improvements that I'm seeing. Big men take time to groom in the NBA. He's added post moves, a mid range chipper, and improved his floor awareness this season. If he keeps improving he could be a legit starting center. Hell if Memo can make the All-Star team their is no reason Kanter can't with development.

Improvements?

His PER is down. All his shooting percentage numbers are down. All his rebounding numbers are down. His steals and blocked shots are down. His passing has improved and his turnovers are down. Really, that's about it.

You guys just see what you want to see, and rationalize. I think our best hope with Kanter is that all his problems are Corbin's fault... and I think that is a long shot.

But did you see the kind of heart he plays with??

His rebounding has vastly improved this last month. I like that he's finally starting in most of the games. If he and Favors had started together all year he would be doing a lot better.
 
Waiters for Kanter?
sure!
no need to reflect much upon that actually.
Waiters covers a need and Kanter is replaceable.

Waiters covers a need? He is a shooting guard who is worse than hayward and burks, so ya he covers a need if our need is a 3rd string shooting guard.
 
Lol, Don't trade Kanter unless he is part of a deal to land us a big name guy. Certainly do not trade him for crap like Waiters.
 
I must see him play under a different coach. I believe Tyrone Corbin's coaching style really affected his performance. I think Kanter will show whether he is a bust or not in about 3-4 years. I think he will see his ceiling then.
 
Kanter is slowly getting over his injury... This month Kanter is playing again as a starting 5 player. He drops 13,11 in 31 minutes per game... Iam 100 percent convinced that Kanter will make a huge jump in scoring, passing and rebounding next season. Also defense will get a bit better...
