It seems there has been much talk of Kanter's shortcomings, successes, and comparisons here lately. I wanted to investigate the following assumptions about Kanter by looking at his quantitative measurements, and how he ranks in comparison to the rest of the league.
Key Thoughts on JazzFanz:
-Amazing at rebounding
-Gets blocked a lot
-Can (or has potential to) shoot the long ball (comparisons to Dirk and Okur)
-Never passes (Al jefferson on steroids)
First - Let's look at Kanter's rebound rate
14th in the entire league at rebound rate
Good Rebounder? Confirmed
Next, lets see if the assumption that he gets his shot blocked way too much holds true...
10th in the NBA at getting his shot blocked...
Get's his shot blocked too much? Confirmed
Next - how did he shoot outside the paint last season?
From 3-9 feet: 37%
From 10-15 feet: 28.6%
From 16-23 feet: 26%
Good shooter across the floor? No (at least, not last season. {Please can we stop comparing him to Dirk/Okur until this improves})
Finally, is he any less of a black hole than Al Jeffereson?
He has the worst assist rate in the entire NBA
Bigger black hole than Jefferson?: Confirmed
