Enes Kanter
Kanter is being disgustingly ignored in Utah. I want to give the Jazz the benefit of the doubt, I hope this solely has to do with their tanking mission but I doubt it. Why an end-of-his-time veteran like Richard Jefferson or a never-reached-his-potential role player like Marvin Williams take minutes away from Kanter is beyond me. Kanter is seventh in minutes on the Jazz, yet when he playes 25 minutes or more he’s failed to score 10-plus points only twice. Over a three-game stint in February, Kanter averaged 22.7 points per game, 9.0 rebounds a game, and shot 65 percent over 35 minutes. Those are All-Star numbers–granted on a small sample size. Kanter deserves the opportunity to be showcased in an offense that will use him. A big part of the reasoning behind letting Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap go was to create playing time for Derrick Favors and Kanter. That obligation hasn’t been fulfilled.
