Yeah, my bad. He is still young though and has potential. I think he could come in and take Evans minutes and be better than Evans.

I think he's in. Klay thompson comming out intrigues me at 12. He is a stud. I know he was busted for possesion a few months ago but, seriously he just was unlucky as i would bet 80 percent of college bball players smoke weed. I think in work outs klay moves into the lottery

Be careful watching highlight films. They can be very deceiving kind of like watching a med student taking her top off for tuition.

And you're saying watching those types of films is a bad thing?
We don't need a Dr. (unless it's the next version of Dr. J); what we need is someone to come in, provide the desired bang for our bucks and leave us satisfied with their performance. Sounds like your analogy is perfect.
I haven't seen Kanter suck in a game. My concern is that what little footage there is on him shows that his lateral quickness and athleticism are limited and that he plays below the rim. He dominated at the Nike Hoops Summit, but wasn't going up against anyone with NBA size. He was the biggest player on the floor in terms of height and weight. That game was also pretty loose in terms of defense and intensity, so it's easy to see why he would get deep position and dominate inside. Even if he is highly skilled, he seems like a slightly smaller and slightly less fluid Demarcus Cousins, or maybe he's a Kevin Love. In other words, he may be better suited to play PF that C.
Who knows? He was only 18 in that video, and we'll have to see how he does in workouts. We know KOC went to watch him workout, so no he's obviously on our radar. I'm just not sure if he's the center we want. Vallanciunas at least looks like he'll have an Andris Biedrins impact on defense and has NBA length and quickness. Valanciunas may have buy-out issues though.

By no means this is a challenge, but how many games have you seen him play?
Just the same video clips as everyone else, not complete games...
HoopsSummit, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YzbhAQGPqk

He looks more like a Kevin Love-type than a natural C, and he calls himself a PF.

A lot of mocks show Kanter still available at 6 or 7. He's definitely in play.

I don't follow college basketball much, but does everyone agree that Derrick Williams can play small forward in the nba? I see he has a crazy 3pt%, just wondering how rest of his game fits the position change.
