I yearn for the day Kanter keeps the ball above his head.
Funny thing is he did that once in that game, and had his shot blocked.

He is learning. In the Laker game he used his body to get shots off at the rim. He needs to pass it back out when it's bodies packed in like sardines.
If he gets a rebound right under the rim I would rather see him do a quick put back. Passing out is way to hard because of the congestion. He should be able to make the basket, or get fouled at a high enough rate in time.
grumble grumble grumble...
Ya I agree w/most of the posters here. Kanter sucks. Who cares that he hadn't played in almost 2 years? Who cares that he's only 19? Who cares that he displays better fundamentals than all the bigs on our team? Who cares that he's our best rebounder?
He doesn't have Jeremy Evans hops and has gotten blocked a few times down low so he must suck! Trade him to the Lakers for a future 2nd rounder!

What? He has better rebounding fundamentals, but that is about it. Where are his passing fundamentals when he has the ball frozen at the top of the FT line? Where has his fundamentals when he lowers the ball to his knees on putbacks? Why doesn't he use the backboard on putbacks?
He is a pretty good rookie, but to say he is our most fundamentally sound big man is laughable.
