Enes Kanter last year had the 18th highest amount of assists in the NBA for a center. He was improving every year until this year since it is contract year and also he is playing Trey Burke who shoots at 37% FG and Dante Exum who shoots at 35%.

"18th highest amount of assists in the NBA for a center. . ." The hell? Who looks up that stat and feel like it is relevant? So, at best, he is just below average? I have watched enough Enes Kanter to know that he has no court vision. Maybe good passing bigs are rare, but it is something to help make up for just terrible defense. Seriously, he is exactly a poor man's Al Jefferson and will enjoy the limited success of Al Jefferson if any team chooses to make him a centerpiece, which is what he is demanding.
 
After emotions settled I can predict in 3 years with high probability this board and Jazz fans overall will be regretting letting Kanter go after he signs a reasonable offer sheet and steadily improves each year and his $13-15Mil per would be a great contract with the new cap.
It's just yet another **** you from the grave by Corbin. I can clearly see how Kanter's actions benefited him and how Lindsey dropped the ball managing assets.

I only regret that Kanter requested a trade instead of accepting a role as the 3rd big. Which he is going to be in OKC anyways.
 
Jazz signing Kanter to a big 13-15 mil deal means their backup PF-C would be making more than Favors/Gobert.
Jazz could not do that.
Gobert is Jazz starting C and he's only making 1.5 mil
Kanter would be making 8-10 times more than him and be the backup.
The team chemistry would be threatened to let a backup make more than most starters.
 
I wish they'd have gotten more, but his long-term health concerns makes me just fine with the trade. That's something that gets glossed over. His knee injury still bothers him. If anyone pays him big money, they may come to regret it not because he plays poorly, but because he can't get out on the court at all.

I'm okay with the Jazz not taking that risk. Should have just traded him for as much as possible when it became clear that Gobert and Favors could, in fact, play together.

Corbin's moved on. He's going to reach out from the other side to screw over Sacramento.

How many times do the guys below him touch the ball? Kanter's Assist ratio ranks 78 out of the 81 centers that average 10 min+ per game and have played in at least 20 games.

>Link< (Kanter is on the second page at the bottom)

Kanter's ast ratio is 3.7
Gobert's Ast ratio is 14.6

So it's kinda hard to blame it on his team


Edit: Assist ratio is the number of assists a player gets per 100 player possessions.

I already conceded Kanter assists are just plain terrible this year. Last year Kanters assist ratio was still bad but not unsalvageable bad.
