You don't have to argue with these idiots that are planning Gordon Freaking Hayward is going to be an Allstar next year.
August 25: Enes Kanter & Turkey match is starting now.>Turkey - Montenegro < LIVE MATCH HERE:)
- Thread starter turkishdelight
- Start date
Right.
You know what Verlin? I can jump in wherever I want. I don't need your approval.
I read the thread. I also read the thread where you argued with everyone about what a bust he was after watching the first 2 games. Now you've watched 5 games and you think he might be closer to Al Horford. That's great, you're entitled to think whatever you want. But you go from bust to Horford in 3 games and I sound like a dip****? I don't know what kind of a player Kanter is going to be. I'm very encouraged by what I've seen but will wait to actually watch him play a few games in the NBA before I form an opinion on his ceiling. My point was the Turks are justifiably entitled to be enthusiastic about Kanter. I get that aybars was a bit defensive but this is how you responded.
Are you seeing the trend?

all i said was;
enes has not played ball for 2 years and he needed playing-time,than i said he came from 0-0 to 14-6 in five games,and i thought it was anfair to compare him with anyone when he is in this kind of condition,and what did our friend responded to that?calling me moron,idiot,Turkish BURN...all his replies were full with aggression.so i had to answer him the same way.
anyway i apologies for my language to him and other jazzfans,and im not going to reply his comments from now on.

Good call. Waste of time anyway.

I need to learn to not argue when people are being jerks. Unfortunately, I somewhat enjoy it.
I'm not defending him in any way, but he actually didn't call you a Turkish burn. He was asking if the comment about his shoe size was a Turkish burn. "Burn" in this context means "insult".
Good luck with this one, Verlin.

we got kanter, favors, hayward and burks. you mad?
Yeah, he is normally a very good player, he has allstar potential, but he has questionable mental ability, he isnt very consistent, he was very good last summer in world cup though.
I was actually going to start a thread about it, it is very important because that means, Enes will be getting major mins. It will be a big experience for him after not playing 2 yrs and we all will see how well he can respond to the expectations at his young age.
At the first game against Ukraine, i was thinking he may not even make the team but right now he seems like the best choice along with Omer Asik in the post. Thats a pretty good improvement in the training period for me.

so we got harris, favors and kanter for deron who's contract was soon to be over. what a great deal! it will be even better in two or three years. what a steal, thanks koc! it's really exciting to be a jazz fan
You forgot about Burks since we probably would have made the playoffs (maybe the 8th seed) had we kept Deron.

enes kanter is the best player on the turkish roster along with omer asik, imo. i would even take him over omer asik. hedo had one good game in eight games and ilyasova has been a disappointment so far, but he still has shown some improvement over the last two games. i expect this two guys two become better in the tournament, otherwise turkey can not advance further in the tournament. tunceri has also played solid in the last two games, finding his rythm and form back again. even the rather bad guard ender arslan has improved. right now, it's a good situation for enes, he will get at least his 20 minutes per game with semih out. i also have high expectations referring to enes kanter. like 12 points and 8 boards is what i'm expecting from him in the tournament.
semih is more of an energy guy with no real offensive game, average defense and he is rather a bad rebounder for his size and athleticizm. he is quick, long, has solid size and is quite athletic. he moves well for a player his size and that's it. he can pass the ball a little bit, too. he does everything a little bit but there is not one particular thing in which he is really good at it. i don't see the all-star potential in him. he will be the third or second center, coming from the bench to play like 10-15 mins per game, or maybe 20 minutes for his team. that's pretty decent for a guy who was selected as the 59th or 60th pick in the draft, i don't remember. i don't expect him to become a starter in this league, he is way to inconsistent and if you don't get consistent rebounding numbers from your big man, he does not deserve more playing time. all in all, he has some skills, but lacks the concentration, focus to become a starter and does not seem to have improved much over the last couple of years, imo... but the tools are there, definitely...
Fantastic news.
