How about Jingles? I'm really liking what he brings to the team. He has been to passive to start the season but he has been a nice piece for us. Defensively he is solid, no big mistakes, and plays great team defense. His one on one defense isn't great but it isn't bad either. His offense spacing is excellent, and so is his passing. He over passes right now but i'd rather overpassing then bad shots. If he can give us 6-7ppg and continue everything else that will be huge.

I'm glad he's hitting open shots now too - it was only a matter of time before word got out on him and opposing teams started clogging the passing lanes - Jennings made a great anticipation steal on him last night; but Utah got bailed out with a foul.

And yeah, his defense is surprisingly good - he seems to be able maintain with very little athletic ability.

He should give 7ppg without much difficulty. Euro posters of JazzFanz like illyasova or ECTYA can provide more details on him, I'll say he can flat out score. As it became known to most of you already his ball IQ is off the charts. He'll make the right decision, be it passing or shooting the ball, rotating on defense or sneaking into
OR. You've already seen he can pass but he can score too. Well, NBA is a different level where consistency matters much, so we'll see how he'll do in the mid and long term. But at this point I'm shocked the Jazz managed to snap him. Perfect fit, rare skill set, exemplary attitude.
 
Impressive that Jazz got down after having the lead most of the first half and fought back to win. Now Jazz need to learn how to bury teams like this. We really let off the gas in the second quarter and let them get back into it, which gave them hope and fight in the third and fourth. I want to see Jazz bury some crappy teams who come out cold and keep them down the whole game.

He really seems to be taking a veteran role with the team too. You can see him talking a lot to the team during timeouts and free throws. It seems like he is becoming a veteran leader for the team even though its his rookie year in the NBA. Might have something to do with Exum on the team.

Although to be fair I dont know what he is saying.
 
I never got to it last night, but here's how the Detroit low post players fared against Kanter last night.

Monroe: 2/7

Drummond: 0/1

Smith: 4/8

Jerebko: 0/0

So he actually fared pretty well against the low post players. Lets check how he did against the guards when they penetrated.

Jennings: 1/2

KCP: 0/1

So in total, that's 7/19 which is 37%. So not nearly as bad as it seemed.

All stats came from NBA.com, and they are flawed…so remember, this isn't an exact science. It's just whichever player is the closest to whoever is shooting.

It really doesn't paint the whole picture-- I think we gave up 18 offensive rebounds (yowza) and Kanter constantly got help-D from perimeter defenders, which left their perimeter players open to hit buckets. Fortunately, Detroit's shooters can't hit the broad side of a barn.

I completely agree with ya man. Shows you how stats are flawed, and you really have to watch the game AND look at the stats to get the whole picture. Kanter's overall defensive numbers are still very bad.
 
Hayward and Favors are our only starters with a negative Net DFG%…Burke, Kanter and Burks are all struggling defensively.
 
Kanter isn't terrible at defending the post. It's when he has to defend in space or gets pulled into a PnR that the wheels come off. Completely.
 
Kanter is bad at defense when quick decisions have to be made. Mainly just awful pick n' pop defense and poor closeouts.
