Kanter???

Sorry truth is not many nba fans have this boards optimism regarding kanter. He is regarded as a bust and bellow average big man. Go to any other teams board and find out for yourselves.

Because the average fan looks at stats and nothing else. They just see 12 and 8 and go below average. If he played 36 minutes per game they would be saying he is a rising star.

And the average fan on this board does the same.
 
The thing I get most annoyed with is the thinking that if Kanter was allowed to shoot threes he'd turn into Memo. I just don't see it... his percentages from 15-18 feet are about 39%. Is he going to shoot 35% from 3? I also don't think his shooting mechanics will allow him to move out further very effectively.

If he can't spread the floor or pass on offense I don't think he will help the team. He will still put up some individual numbers, but will not be helping us win.
 
The simple fact besides stats that Kanter does not help his team win should be very concerning. Any player combinations with him on the floor is losing combination. Simple numbers tell us Jazz played better offense and defense with Kanter riding the pine. One can hope it will change with new coach, but giving him 36 min a game and him getting 15/10 is nothing to be excited about when net +/- for offense and defense will be negative.

Becaue Kanter is a PF not a C. when you leave him alone to protect the paint things are not going to turn out well.

If you left David West or Zach Randolph to guard the paint. Things wouldn't turn out well. Your buying into what Corbin was selling.

The previous year with Favors the +/- was huge for both of them together.

Walt Perin was on The Big Show today, and Monson asked about Kanter's development arc. Perin reconfirmed that Jazz see him as being special, but it will take time. Said he is still a young guy in terms of playing time (and the kid just turned 22 a couple weeks ago). Etc.Nothing too surprising, tbh. Some of you will say "but they would say that even if they wanted to trade him," which is true, but it is also the narrative they've always said, and all other scouts have said.

The previous year they were both playing off the bench against the bench guys... This year their plus minus was horrible.

This.

How many games, and minutes have these fans of other teams even seen of Kanter. Better yet, how many minutes has the average Jazz fan seen of Kanter?

People are writing him off way too prematurely. With his physical tools, gifts, and limited experience with the game, the trajectory is upward.
