Enes Kanter for Otto Porter: A Wizards Fan's Perspective

I can't believe thete are people who watch Kanter and think he is, or could be, a special player.

I like Kanter, but his best would be like what Boozer was in Chicago. An offensive option off the bench that can start when he has to.

You would think with all that fitness, mobility, offensive rebounding, and shooting ability Kanter would be able to get to the FT line more than 2 twice per game while take 12 FGA per game.

But he can't because he is a poor man's Al Jefferson. Make Kanter a 1st option and all those % will be below Big Al's %. (Besides the 3pt% of course)

He goes 3 x per 36. You are right that he needs to go to the line more, but let us be real:

Per 36:
Aldridge goes 4.8 times.
Dirk goes 5.3
Pau goes 4.9
Zach Rabdolph goes 5
Serge Ibaka only goes 1.8

The difference between Kanter's 3 FTA's, and these players' 5 FTA's is really only one extra call. Most of these players get more than 12 FGA, some get a lot more.

And are you honestly suggesting that all of Kanter's FGA's are created equal? There are at least 3-5 put-back attempts, a lot of times where he is not getting fouled because the opponet realizes it is too late. Despite what FGA's tell you, but by just watching the game, you can see that Kanter is the 5th, 4th, sometimes 3rd option on offense. Like Ibaka, it is hard to get to the line when plays aren't being called for you because of other players you share the floor with. If Trey shot less, Kanter would probably get to the line more.
 
Also, Kanter is much more than a typical jump shooting big. Nice try. Jump shooting bigs don't get the offensive boards he does, or posess his footwork.

lol

Worst post ever.

It's Trey's fault Kanter can't get to the FT line? lolololololololol

Kanter is the 5th option on offense? When? When we have our go-to 4th option Joe Ingles on the court? Kanter has the 3rd most FGA per game on the team. He has every oppurtunity to get more fouls drawn, but he can't because he is a poor man's Big Al (or a poor man's Carlos Boozer without the roll game or passing ability).
 
Trey Burke is dangerously close to surpassing Kanter in FTA per game.....

Let that sink in....
 
Also loving that fat .6 ASSISTS PER GAME (WHILE AVERAGING 27 MINUTES PER GAME AND ATTEMPTING 11.6 SHOTS PER GAME) Kanter is dishing out. Bill Walton watch out.
 
Maybe one day Kanter will improve his passing when he becomes that special player and is allowed to be the 1st option on offense.

Probably not though.
 
You gotta admit though, Kanter is a bit of a stiff. He is fit, but it doesn't translate. That's what worries me about his game. I'm not sure his defense will ever be good enough. I like his offense now. He is really good at it, and projects to be even better. But we don't need another big who doesn't play defense. I can't stand the Boozers and Jeffersons of the NBA.
 
Trey leads the team in FGA's per 36, I believe.



Yes, Kanter needs to learn how to pass. I've saidd that all along, but I am confident he'll get there.

Reality is, a non-passing big is far less of an issue than a non-passing, which Otto Porter is.

Otto Porter is a very god (yes I mean god, not good) passer when given the opportunity. He averaged nearly 3 APG in college as a wing (very impressive).

Porter is a great passer. He just needs to be back in a motion offense where he is given the oppurtunity to make reads and passes (exactly what Quin wants to do) not a PNR heavy system where primary ball-handlers make all the plays (Wizards with Wall/Beal).

Stop being ignorant to Otto Porter's skills. If you want to say he isn't a good shooter/scorer at the NBA level, I'd be willing to concede that may in fact end up being the case (though I doubt it), but I know for a fact he is a very skilled and smart passer. The passes in the video aren't "highlight" passes. They are a smart player being able to make good reads within an offense that has motion and cuts.
 
He operated as something of a point forward in Georgetown's offense, executing his team's sets to perfection, constantly reading and probing the defense, and facilitating exceptionally well from the high post. His court vision and passing ability is exceptional for a player his size, and he really sets the tone for his teammates with his unselfishness in always looking to make the right play. He makes simple extra passes to open shooters on the perimeter, finds cutters diving to the rim with perfectly timed bounce passes, and moves the ball ahead in transition decisively to get his teammates easy baskets that don't register in the boxscore as assists.

But then according to Sexual Favors Otto Porter lost all passing ability and is now one of the worst passing wings in the NBA cuz stats.
