Watched Kanter's new video. He has great footwork like Boozer and a similar body type. But Boozer has more lift. I see Kanter struggling to finish at the hoop from time to time. But on the bright side his jumper looks great.

Yeah, I see a lot of Boozer in him, minus the v'jay-jay.

Now that is good information.
Does anyone happen to know when the Euro season ends so the Euro players can come over for workouts & interviews?

I concur.

I've been of the same opinion, but I've grown to like Burks more than Vesely.... so if both players are there at 12, then I hope we take Alec. However, it seems likely that both will be off the board.

When I see Kanter I see a bigger, stronger, quicker, more athletic Kevin Love. First, let it be noted that as good as Love's numbers looked last year, I still think he's overrated, and I in no way think that Kanter will be a 14 REB a night guy, but I bet he would probably be our best rebounder (depending on Favors minutes), and he's got a great jumper that looks like it'll develop out past the 3 pt line. It just looks like Kanter is light years ahead of other "big" 18 yr olds. I still like Irving if things bounce our way (do work big Larry in the sky), but Kanter's now my #2 and gaining ground.

Please, explain how Kevin Love is "overrated". I'm dying to know.
Horrid defender. Versatile, smart player, but isn't exactly a go-to scorer either. I get the feeling his team's rebounding percentages don't quite follow his individual prowess either, but I'm purely speculating.
True, they also definitely like that he is more athletic than the vast majority of other Euro players and that it will translate well in the NBA.
As an aside, the thing that is so amazing about Rodman is that besides being the most prolific, skilled, talented, and relentless rebounder in NBA history is that he never sacrificed defense to get them. And it shows because whether you like the guy or not, his teams were always amazing and it wasn't a coincidence.
Vesely himself said his contract should not be a problem. The two guys with definite contract issues are Jonas V and Mirotic. Vesely was one of the first guys to declare. The team he plays with is a low budget Serbian team that I am sure he wants to leave.

NUMBERICA already helped me out a little with this one, but I think Love's numbers were grossly inflated by playing on a GD awful team. I still think he's really good, but how he made the All-Star team over Aldridge I'll never know.
