Isn't this the exact comment made about Favors every other week? The Kanter hate on this board is stupid. It's like a psychotic ex girlfriend, changing every other day. There were many on this board that were saying the same thing when Favors was out....that Kanter and Gobert were the future and Favors needed to be traded. Then Gobert and Exum start together and the comments begin about them not being ready to start. If someone yells loud enough that Kanter sucks it must be true. Gobert is going to be really good, and so is Favors, and so is Kanter. There will be a day when this becomes a problem but not today, and not this year. Lighten up Francis.

It's not stupid. I'd rather have Favors bringing it, albeit inconsistently, on both ends of the court, compared to Kanter who's a black hole on offense and basically completely inept on defense.

You wanting Favors over Kanter isn't stupid. Making a decision without the facts is. Kanter is 2 years behind Favors (since he didn't play in college). He has improved a great deal this year on defense. He is a legitimate 20/10 guy and you don't give up on those guys easily. If you want to chose Favors because Kanter is more injury prone or because he is a better fit with Gobert, so be it. But choosing him because he is better than Favors is premature.
 
i like Kanter and i think he has a lot of good things to offer, but basically even when he has a good game he has very little influence on the game. Rudy changes the game totally. Not fussed if it's now or later, but it's a no brainer that he has to start eventually & if it's affordable i like Kanter as a scoring big off the bench. He could produce similar numbers in less minutes.
 
There are plenty of minutes at the 4/5 for all 3 bigs, and I agree with Otis that people are acting as if Kanter is as good as he'll ever get. Also, it seems like a lot of people assume Utah makes all of their decisions based on winning now. I believe they have higher priorities this year. If winning now is their top priority, they will trade for a guard by the deadline and Rudy will be starting when Enes comes back. We shall see.

I don't think it's a matter of winning now more than it is establishing a winning culture, not the same thing. To win now, you trade assets to go for established players already. To establish a winning culture this isn't all that necessary. What's ******** is when people lament winning a game.
 
Someone needs to start a game thread for tonight. Pronto. Only someone who's willing to start a great one. Or should I since I started the Bulls one?
