I love what Kanter's doing. He's aggressive, uses his width very well, is getting to the line where he's got a SWEET touch for a kid his size, and he seems like he's pretty smart about things out there.

Kanter's still third in the league in rebounds per 48 behind just Howard and Cousins. Pretty nasty.

Enes Kanter can shoot the mid-range jumper just fine from what i saw at the charity game at SLCC. He didn't stay on the floor long enough to show anything that night (split Lip). That "Game" was held up about 45 minutes beyond it's starting time and it turned into a long shoot around. Kanter stood at around 20 feet from the basket with Steph Curry and matched shots for about 15 minutes and i would be hard pressed to say Curry shot better. With a defender in his face it may take some time but the stroke is there alright. Tenacity toughness and good footwork and a taste for glass along with what could be a sweet mid-range shot makes me long for the passage of time. A dangerous thing to wish for when you are a grandpa, but there you go.
My only concern with Kanter is the way he goes up after the ball and then lands. His legs are straight and toes are extended. This is how you simply have ankle injuries coming. Especially if you jump up high in traffic. One single landing on someone's foot and he may be done. I tell you if he keeps jumping like that and becomes an impact player in playoffs there will be dirty plays against him.
Clearly, you've never seen him jump. I think I've found one of the three people on this planet that can't jump higher than me.

True. 3rd in the league in rebounding rate as a 19 year old isn't very impressive. Do us all a favor and go troll back on your nambla board.
In my opinion his lift is good when he goes after rebounds.
Also, he's 3rd in rebound percentage (similar, but pace adjusted, a little more accurate).
Also, lolololol
In fairness, 'Wes' said that in his earlier post on the matter.
I think his rebounding is great. I just don't think you know what the word "nasty" means.
