Does Kanter start when he's back from injury?

Will Kanter start or be benched in favor of Gobert when he returns?

Could you just take gobert out sometime in the first quarter and bring in kanter with favors and play those two together until the end of the first...... then start the second quarter with gobert and kanter so favs can rest...... then send kanter to the bench in the middle of the second quarter and bring favors back in?

This... Gobert has earned the honor of starting. Bring kanter in after 6-8 minutes. Booker will end up playing a lot less... He'll have to deal with it.

Seems reasonable, I am not sure how Kanter feels about coming off the bench but my guess is not what he wants. This would be ideal for the team.
 
People say Kanter's defense is terrible

and then others say it's not as bad.

and then people say he ranks bottom 10% in defensive metrics.

what does he do wrong?

So the argument has switched to do we like booker or kanter as our third big now, right?

Mostly.
I still think kanter is a young solid big with room to grow and will have some head turning games that will change some minds.

But ya, favs and rudy will probably end up as better players. (I say probably because there is still a chance that kanter beasts hard)

He reads offense too slow which results in delayed reaction. His footwork is great for bigman - it's his reaction time on defense what is killing the Jazz throwing everyone off on rotations.
He is also inconsistent in how slow he is resulting in his teammates can't account for it. Sometimes he is good, sometimes terrible which makes some frustrated teammates.
 
He's not long either. Offensive players have no problem seeing over him. Favors and Gobert? Block even the sight of the basket.
 
I believe Kanter is starting tonight. Coach told the media players don't lose their starting spot due to injury. Just like it should be. Kanter probably doesn't have a whole lotta rope here, Gobert should be back starting by February if not sooner.

I actually predict that kanter plays well and turns the tide of the feelings against him
