Are there any Kanter apologists left? What are they saying?

[Dumb Bloke]

Lol.

Kanter's high with OKC - since he's been free to be his dominant self - is 20 pts. Took Shaq 14 years before his SEASON average DROPPED that low. Congrats, Kanter is now averaging fewer points at OKC than he did with Utah. That 13.3 compares to a 35 year old Shaq, though. So yes, a young Kanter is putting up as many points in the post as a decrepit Shaquille O'Neal.

Lol.

Stats dont lie but liars figure.

Kanter is as dominant in the post as Shaq. He's a better free throw shooter. He's craftier and doesnt rely on bullyball. He's also young and getting better. He never played in college or against US quality high school players. Next season he will improve and the season after that. What dont you get he is young and already the best low post scorer in the NBA?

 

[gregbroncs]

they will be eating dinner 20 games from now watching kanter playing in the playoffs while their season is over.

And he'll have had virtually nothing to do with it. They were on the way to the playoffs when he got there.

 

[Stifle Tower]

Wrong. Kanter's 2 point percent is up to elite levels like I told you it would. Has nothing to do with threes.

How can you sit there and say identical stats when his assists are more than triple and FTAs are double? He has become the best, most efficient scorer in the game.



OKC is 5 and 2 in games Kanter played. He's quietly making Adams an afterthought. They're already calling him The Big James Harden.

Yes, triple: LOL. From .5 to 1.5. Damn, he's playing like a young John Stockton.

As for FG%, 54.5% is very good, but hardly elite.

DeAndre Jordan leads the league at 71%.
Also above Kanter (and over 60%) are:
Chandler, Wright, Whiteside, Gobert, James Johnson and Ed Davis

Above Kanter and over 55% are:
Ajinca, Mason Plumlee, Amir Johnson, Henson, Dwight Howard and Valanciunas

I only included players with > 200 attempts. Also note I used Kanter's FG % with OKC ONLY. His overall % is 49.7 which would put him very far down the list.

Argue all you want about some of those guys only getting dunks. Really immaterial as many of Kanter's points come on put-backs.

As for making hilarious statements like "tripled" this and "doubled" that, when stats are so bad to begin with, it's not really a HUGE accomplishment, nor very difficult to improve greatly upon them. Kind of like being out of work for 1/2 a year and then going back at minimum wage for another year. You DOUBLED your pay. Woo hoo!

Your posts are so comical I can only assume you are Kanter's mother, Max Ergul or Kanter himself.

OMG What a stupid post. You earned your name with this one good job.

"The Big James Harden." LOL!!!
I guess it fits because neither plays defense.

I think he should be known as "The Big Magic." Not because he reminds me of Earvin Johnson. But because he's disappeared the last two games (8 points and then 6 points).

And whoop-dee-do about 5 and 2. They have yet to beat a winning team WITH Kanter in the lineup. Meanwhile, the Jazz are also 5-2 WITHOUT Kanter. He isn't missed on the Jazz.

Speaking of DeAndre and Chandler, the webs are saying thats Goberts absolute ceiling, YUCK! Not like a Whiteside or Kanter who can put up insane stats any match.



Speaking of comical posts bro I liked how you attempted to compare Kanters post game to lob catchers, cleanup specialists and 3 point shooters. Why dont you reference Randy Foye's season in Utah too? Good job sidestepping the issue and failing to bring any substantial facts to the table.

Sidestepping? I merely brought up the best FG leaders in the league. Kanter is also a cleanup specialist. He gets most of his points around the rim and putting back offensive boards. How is that any more valid than guys using their height and physicality or jumping skills to do the same? Did I include any 3PT shooters? Actually that would be impressive if any of those players shot a lot of threes since those are even lower percentage shots.

 

[Nate505]

Kanter puts up Shaq numbers in the post and post defense is better today.

Pftttt....bwahahahahahahahahaha. Your user name is a great fit, I must admit.

Okay fair enough. I will concede he has to do a lot of cleanup from Westbrooks chucking. If he were playing with a true setup pg like Chris Paul he would probably have the all time shooting % season. Could you imagine his footwork and finishing in the pick and roll with pretty much anyone but Westbrook or Trey? He'd be unstoppable. Oh well, we'll have to wait and hope he continues forcing Westbrook to pass for a change.


Speaking of 3 point shooters. Kyle Korver is again leading the league in shooting. Just another All Star your boys who can do no wrong KOC and DL let walk for nothing. AJ, Sap, Korver, Matthews, Bell, Carroll and now Kanter.

 

[Nate505]

So "the greatest low post player" since a prime Shaq is scoring less than 15 points a game? The rest of his game must be the absolute worst. Like bad to a degree that's unprecedented.

Troll doing work today.

 

[Dumb Bloke]

Only reason im taking flack is for supporting an ex-Jazz player who got abused by ownership. You're not allowed to support anyone not on the Jazz and every non-Jazz player is rubbish. So logical
