/scoring big who can't get to the FT line

He scores 62 % in the post. Not like hes Al Jefferson.


Also when has Kanter been put in a position to pass? Never .

Jefferson hits 64% of his shots in the post.

No matter how you look at it, starting frontcourt player for the Jazz is not in Kanter's future. And this is not like the Trey Burke situation - Utah already has the piece readily available to replace him. Kanter can come off the bench, still get his minutes and still finish some games (depending on the situation). Nothing to complain about there. This isn't about balls it's about common sense.

Because he is so tall and therefore even if it doesn't seem so, fragile, I would rather Gobert played 30/32 than 35 per night. On the point of starting, the important aspect with Gobert is that with him starting you create a solid defensive foundation for the game, you don't allow the other team, and its stars and starters, to get going. this is very helpfull.

Spot on - how many times do you see a team go up 10-12 points in the first period and then play the other team even the rest of the way? With the exception of Philly who are epically bad, Utah isn't going to out-score anyone. They just don't have the offensive pieces right now. You gotta start the game with your best defensive 5 set.

Every shot Jefferson takes is in the post and he shoots about 50-50.

Kanter is forced to pick and pop too much he shoots like 25% out there. If he were allowed to only post up he would shoot 62% and lead the league in shooting % by a wide margin.

Rudy Gobert on his PT: "Of course, I want more. It’s obvious I want to start. I’m just trying to get better on the court and help my team."

Oh, I didn't know we were playing the "let's pull numbers out of our ***" game. I was just giving you Jefferson's actual FG% from less than 3ft from basket.

As long as he does it in short stretches against the other teams second unit I am all for it.

I actually got disappointed in Enes' effort on defense after Quin told that defense is the most important thing for him to choose his squad. I am more disappointed that he is out of the lineup by an injury but not by his lack of playing defense. Enes should always have been given the lesson that defense is more important than even scoring!
