What's new

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

They can't defend him. They should be feeding him the ball every time down the court.

And damn does he run the floor well (in both directions also).

I missed the game, but I usually respect and agree with your point of view on basketball. Very exciting. Please, someone post his highlights as soon as they're up on youtube.

It was a bit of hyperbole, as he only had a couple opportunities in the low post. The particular basket the preceded my post was an and-1 (he missed the free throw), where he ran the floor and then bullied his (mismatched) man down low.

It looks like he'll be able to do a lot of things offensively once he assimilates the Jazz offense (whatever it is Ty will be running). He runs the floor surprisingly well, has good touch on his J (purportedly), grabs offensive boards at a high rate, is virtually immovable in the low post, and plays to contact (instead of avoiding it). If he can pass the ball out of double teams and refine his post game, look out.

He sounds a lot like Kevin Love.
 
Nice and effective game by Enes ( I agree, looks like rust is coming of a bit) but I would not get to excited when NZ tallest players are 6'7, 6'8 and one lonely 7 footer. He could have scored 30 pts vs small team like NZ if Turkey team would recognize huge size advantage they had.
I agree, tomorrow will be interesting.
 
Hedo is really bad. If this coach really cared about winning he would bench Hedo after every terrible shot. The problem is all of his shots are terrible.

He is the best wing player maker they have though. He is a very good passer. You kind of have to take crazy/errant shots when you play him, he does a lot of good stuff though.
