August 24: Enes Kanter new zeland match is starting now.>Turkey - New Zealand < LIVE MATCH HERE:)

[Dr. Jones]

Encouraged that he is doing better, still worried about how he will play against NBA size though.

That is the reason he needs a year to adjust.

btw, thanks for posting this kanter video.

Thanks for the highlights. There is no doubt he knows how to use his frame to dominate smaller opponents. Any NBA team without a legit center is probably going to be abused by Kanter or have to send non stop double teams. Having said that, the ones that do could bother Kanter. Most of those shots aren't gong in against a Bynum, a Gasol, or a Bogut. For those guys you need a lot more craftiness and a good medium range jump shot to make them pay. A rigorous weight lifting program overseen by Malone would help as well.

 

[underKANTER]

he has been averaging 6.6 points and 4.3 rebounds over the last 7 games while playing like 10 minutes per game. if he would get his well deserved 20 minutes, he would average over 12 points and 8 boards per game. those are great numbers! if you take into account that he has a horrible coach, bad guards leading the team and that he has not played organised basketball for two years, then those numbers even seem to be more incredible. you also have to know that the system in europe is different and slower than in the states. really scarry good numbers for a guy who just turned 19 years old!

How long are the games? Four quarters of 12 minutes like NBA? Or two halves of 20 minutes like NCAA? Or other?

4 quarters 10 minutes long.

Do they ever call traveling in this thing, not that they call it that much in the NBA but just noticed he shuffles his feet a lot.

Refs suck here and even more there.

Don't love the comparison, but it's certainly not a bad one and I can't think of one better.

I always thought Love but for some reason, I feel a bigger Tyler Hansbrough comes to mind and visually seems more accurate.

Again, not bad, but don't love it. Actually like the Love comparison better. Enes just plain LOVES contact, has GREAT rebounding instincts, thinks SCORE, and has tremendous motor/work ethic.

Agreed. But it's Hansbrough's sort of rudimentary offensive attack of the rim and jump shot that remind me of him. Love seems a little bit too polished for me in that regard and in his passing game.
