Does Quin Have The Balls?

[framer]

Yeah, I don't think the Jazz should put any priority on Kanter's "feelings." Bringing him off the bench as the primary 6 man will only inflate his stats, advanced or otherwise. Memo being a backup sure didn't cool our interest in going after him. He isn't ever going to start over Favors or Gobert so the sooner everyone can work that out, the better the team will be. There is really no upside anymore to starting Kanter.

To bench Kanter's *** when he gets healthy so Gobert can continue to be the starter?

Will DL tell him to start to keep trade value high?

Will Quin be scared to hurt a player's feelings?

I don't have a link, but I remember reading somewhere that Quin actually has 3 balls. I'd have probably guessed that anyway given that 1,000 yard stare of his...

Nah, there are a lot of things factoring in to this decision. If Kanter starts it won't prove anything about Quin. If anything, all it proves is that Utah has higher priorities than winning now.

I don't see why we need to keep Kanter's trade value high???


If anything keeping his value low means we can extend/re-sign him for cheaper in the offseason. He's a perfect scoring big off the bench for us.


Therefore benching/keeping Kanter's minute & production low this year = win/win.

If Utah is looking to trade Enes by the deadline, then they need to keep his value up. Otherwise, benching Kanter could absolutely work in our favor. It could also piss him off enough that he decides to pull a Monroe. Probably not likely, but it has to be a concern.

Good posts and discussion.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

I'm going to guess that kanter will start when he comes back, but I'm pretty much 50/50 on what the outcome will be

I don't give a rat's *** if Gobert starts, per se, but he should be playing 30 minutes every night at the very minimum. Probably closer to 35. If starting him assists in achieving that amount of minutes, you have to start him.

Because he is so tall and therefore even if it doesn't seem so, fragile, I would rather Gobert played 30/32 than 35 per night. On the point of starting, the important aspect with Gobert is that with him starting you create a solid defensive foundation for the game, you don't allow the other team, and its stars and starters, to get going. this is very helpfull.

so tall skinny dudes should never play 35 minutes, but 32 minutes is ideal. lol

Unless they were removed and replaced with that hip surgery.

Do people forget how awesome Kanter was playing before he got hurt? Or is that just revisionist history on my part?

This is tough like when we had Millsap Jefferson Favors Kanter.

We have two top 20 scorers in the league and the fourth best defender in the league. Someone has to be the odd man out and we already see this before the injury as Goberts minutes were doubled from last season and Kanter no longer logs starter minutes.

I think at the end of the day Quin will use all three situationally. Gobert will start some games Kanter others. Even Favors will come off the bench in certain matchups. Thats what a good coach does not some stupid set in stone rotation. Thibbs switched Boozer and Taj up a lot. If Quin is good he will copy.

Favors will start every game he's not injured

Yep, just checked. Quin has a pair of balls.
