What's new

Congratulations: Kanter wins ESPN Midseason Rookie Award

He is not even 1/10 valuable as Rondo. So not it is not absurd. Jazz still would have Millsap, Jefferson and Favors - plenty of bigs but they badly lack is pg of Rondo's level. What you are saying that you think Kanter and whatever PG you will draft at 10-12 pick will turn us into contender but Rondo not? Now this is a true absurd.

Would you trade Favors (in place of Kanter) for Rondo?
 
Rondo today, 17pts, 18reb, 20ast. But trading any of our players who are sure lock for future all-stars and champions is absurd...., who needs Rondo, lol.
 
Lets look at the history of Rookies that have lead their classes in rebounding, and see how they have turned out.

Disclaimer: There was no website that I could find that compiled these stats, so I had to do this research myself. As a result, I could be wrong on a few players. If so, please let me know
2011: Blake Griffin
2010: Taj Gibson (could be incorrect)
2009: Kevin Love
2008: Al Horford
2007: Paul Millsap....??? Did not know this. Could be incorrect
2006: Danny Granger/Andrew Bogut
2005: Emeka Okafor (Dwight in 2nd place)
2004: Chris Bosh
2003: Amare
2002: Pau Gasol
2001: Kenyon Martin
2000: Elton Brand


From this trend, Enes Kanter has the basement of Taj Gibson, a player who has only been in the league for a couple of years. So really, if Kanter secures the Rookie Rebounding Crown this season, I would say that it is without a doubt a sign of good things to come. Wouldn't trade him for Rondo.

Is this per minute or average? I think Fareid (however it's spelled) from Denver will overtake Enes in RPG because he has been getting extended minutes and playing well.
 
Never mind, Faried already has Enes out-rebounded on average. 6.6 vs 5.0.

Faried averages 17.8 minutes to Kanter's 14.5 minutes, so I think Kanter still has an edge in rebounds per minute (maybe, too lazy to do math).

Actually, I think Faried has more per minute also (if the ****ty math in my head is right).
 
Its all per game, Cy. Per minute woulda taken a helluva lot longer to research for 12 draft classes.

Either way, its time for the Menace to rack up some boards. Id hate to have him lose to Faried.
 
No to Rondo for two reasons:

One, we will lose too much, even with him. Deron's attitude with less talent. No thanks.

Two: without three point shooters, Rondo is a waste. His asset is assists. Who is going to hit those wide open jumpers on this team?

I couldn't care less, at this point .. but those folks that ignore his outstanding scoring, rebounding, and assist numbers, as throw away, because he has a good team, are, well, not worth responding to.

He averages 14 ppg. I wouldn't call that outstanding.......
