Will Kanter be back next season?

Vucevic got 4 years and $53MM. Will be interesting to see if Kanter gets that on the open market. I suppose he could. It depends on whether he keeps scoring 20 pts a night.

I think Vucevic is a superior player to Kanter, but don't doubt that Kanter could fetch that much. It depends on the market this summer.
 
The good news is that teams will probably take the Jazz seriously when they say they will match any contract offer, because they have shown a willingness to do that.

Similarities are striking BTW.
Vucevic was born in Switzerland in 1990, like a certain Enes Kanter who was born there in 1992.
In his contract year, Vucevic averaged 14.2 ppg and 7.7. rpg.
Utah's own son (or Kentucky's) Kanter is averaging 14.7 ppg and 7.2 rpg.
Per 36, Vucevic had averaged 16.1/8.8, whereas Kanter has hitherto had 19.4/9.5

Add-on:
Kanter's contract year percentages are better than those of Vucevic.
FT: 794>766
2P%: 547>507
3p%: 333/ Vucevic had none.
 
I believe he will be back and more importantly, I WANT him back. I don't get frustrated with Kanter like others do. I also think Kanter does more good things than he does bad things. I love his game and am happy that he improved from last year to this year.

Go Team Kanter.
 
Defense wins championships. So while his offense is cute I need to see far more consistency on the defensive end. Personally, I would love to see a Favors/Gobert front line. I think those 2 have the length and the defensive impact to win championships.

If it gets to 16, I expect the Jazz to maybe try a sign and trade. Tell the team (before the contract is signed) they can't let Kanter get away for nothing and would RELUCTANTLY have to match an offer that big. But they'd be willing to work a trade that would save both teams some money.

If I'm DL, I call Kanter's agent at 12:00.01 and offer him the same contract as Favors if he'll agree to sign immediately.

Wait, isn't 16 the new 10?
 
I want Kanter back. I've always liked him. He gives us pretty consistent offense. I've noticed a lot when the Jazz struggle on offense, usually in the 1st or 2nd quarter, Kanter is the only guy that has a reliable shot. He also seems to play with some fire, he isn't a 'nice' guy on the court like Favors. And we need that.
He isn't a decent defender, but he's gotten better as the season has gone on. And really no one on our team besides Rudy has been a great defender.
I don't think we will keep him though. He's gonna get a big offer this off season. My guess is at least 13 mill a year but probably 15 a year. With enough minutes he can get 20/10 pretty easily.
A 22 year old putting up 20/10? That's gonna command a huge paycheck
