Chicago Draft Combine 2011

[Saint Cy of JFC]

what would you give for his leaping, quickness and running, between 1 and 10?

I guess 1 being Jarron Collins and 10 being Dwight Howard, I would give him a 7-7.5.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Well the coverage is over and they showed basically nothing of Kanter. He looked pretty athletic jumping wise from what they showed, wasn't very fast at getting down the floor though.

Yeah, I wish they would have shown the wind springs for the centers. That gives you a pretty good idea of up the court speed.

the average nba center should have like a 6-6.5, or not? the power forward like an 7.5 to 8. nbadraft has rated his athleticizm as an 8 of 10. athleticizm includes running, quickness, lateral movement, coordination, leaping ability, footwork, agilitiy and so on. i think if we look at the whole package, i would give him betwenn 7.5 to 8. slightly above average, but not a top athlete. but he's no stiff for those who are underrating him. i would say he's on a similar level as boozer, but slightly more agile maybe.

Well I was comparing him to other Centers. If I'm comparing him to PF's it would be more like a 6.

did kanter look like a legit 6-11 in shoes, or even like a 7 footer?

He looked like he was 6-10, fringe 6-11. We will know tomorrow though when they do measurements.

Kanter has a lot to gain. With a great showing, he could easily be the #1 pick.

Without it, he can easily be a 3 pick. With it, he could drop from the top 10.

How big is his head? There's a lot of rumors floating around about its size.

Huge! Rumor has it he'll star as himself in the Jazz's big head commercial on TNT next season. No photoshop necessary.

 

[Archie Moses]

Wrong. If I'm Irving, I'm tripping over my own feet at every turn to avoid being drafted by the Cavs, and falling to the Jazz. LOL

How is this wrong? Do you think their "professional" advising agents are giving them crappy advice? I'm as right as they get, dude and it doesn't even hurt this time.

This says $900,000 from 3rd to 1st, but if he shows how slow he is and drops to 12 through 20th it's a whole lot more. Also, paying 50% taxes on $4 million for three years leaves you with $6 million. Do the same with a $1 million contract and you don't have a huge golden parachute.

I wouldn't work out if I were Kanter, knowing I'm all bark and no bite.

*Slow clap*

looks like the wolves will pick kanter... (gottlieb on espn). it doesn't make sense for the wolves to take williams, they already have beasley and other similar players. kanter can still come from the bench and get his 30 minutes. expect him to send milicic to the bench short after the season starts. kanter and love might not be the best defending duo, but arguably the best rebounding frontcourt in the nba.

I predict Gottlieb is wrong.
