Another article favoring Kanter

Yeah, but you watched one all-star type of game with bunch of HS kids in it. In a game like that Thaddeus Young can dominate Durant. Actually, he did. And you are willing to bet #3 pick with nothing but this type of evidence to look at? I think this evidence made Kanter a great recruit to NCAA. But top pick in NBA? That's a tough one to gamble with. Would you really do it if you had #3 pick, the best pick this organization has held in recent memory?

High risk, high reward. You don't pass on potential all-star big guys, dude.

Especially in this draft.

Watching highlights is all we got, and this is exactly the reason why there is no way you can make any kind of meaningful conclusion on Kanter. Oh, and on Koufos highlights, KoKo looked pretty good too. Had good jumper on highlights and good post moves. He even knocked down 3 point shots... Making your conclusions based on highlights is a joke. And in case of Kanter, there aren't any games to watch. Not the ones where he competed against half decent guys.

His highlights were impressive, especially his jumper which he showed no hesitation in just calmly raised up and drained them. I highly disagree his post game was anything special, all I saw were basic righty hooks, never went left, spun, shot faked, or up and under. He also could never pass, major tunnel vision. A help defenders dream come true. He averaged half an assist at Ohio State, and didn't fair any better in our system. KOC wont make that mistake again, if he feels Kanter can't and won't pass after the workouts, he will not draft him. Besides that, he was also very light for a center at 240 coming in. Kanter is 260 all muscle with a lower center of gravity, he won't be getting pushed around like Kosta did.
