ENES KANTER: The third and last game of the preparation tourney will start in half an hour

Lmao. Stalking? Hardly. You talked all this mess about how great kanter is and you have been owned. Hard.
Says the guy that is claiming bust after his first real games in >2 years being the youngest on his national team.

If Matthews, Millsap, and Hayward have taught me anything, it's that you can't assess **** so early.
 
spain:90 Lithuania:78

Jonas V had 10 points 4 rebbounds 1 block in 14-15 min.he had a terrible first half with 2 points from free throws with 0 rebounds,he got blocked by the rim,took the rebound and missed the shot from 2 inches,no minutes in third quarter,he got in when 6 minutes playing time left(spain was leading the game with 21 points) on fourth quarter,made 2 points from free throws and 4 points with 2 dunks.

correction:2 points,1 rebound at first half.8 points on fourth quarter

Dude did you watch? He he lacks a post game, lacks explosivness lacks bb iq. Those things dont disapear because he didnt play.
 
Now that i dont have a screaming 4 month old in my arms let me explain. I want kanter to exceed. We need him to exceed. Watching him the last three days was very disapointing. My expectations were not that high after two years of not playing. What i wanted to see is a player that was so physically gifted that he could match up with any of the players on mediocore euro teams. He looked extremely ordinary. His lack explosion down low should be very concerning for any jazz fan. I mean he has sabonis hops. The post game he tried to show ended in a bunch of ill adivsed shots including a 12 foot hook shot over a player3-4 inches shorter than him that airballed. I dont want him to bust, and he still has a chance to redeem himself obviously. But that lack of explosivness is what really has me down and is not something that can really be corrected.
 
I'm seeing a lot more positives than most of you. So he missed a few shots. Big deal.

- he loves to set screens, and is always moving. rarely stagnant. he's going to fit in well with our system.
- he's battling out there. throwing elbows, throwing his body into people, setting hard screens. i like it.
- hes rebounding. this kid is going to come in from day one and help on the boards.
- he works on defense. he's not having a ton of success, but you have to like the fact that he is putting in effort on the that end. i don't see how he wont improve if he continues to work.
- he's very quick out there. fast for a big man.


relax people :-)
 
So Valanciunas 10 pts (3-5fg 4-6 ft) 3 reb 3 blks in 11minutes against Brothers Gasols and Ibaka frontcourt. Abusing Ibaka in 4th qtr.
Kanter 6 pts (3-8 fg 0-1 ft) 1 reb 1blk in 19 minutes against Serbia.
Hm...

Believe me when I tell you that all Jazz fans would love nothing more than for Kanter to exceed in the National Basketball Association.

Lapas are you Turkish? I only ask because i am interested in turkish pov after the past three days. Did he disapoint from anational persepective or were expectations low to begin with?
 
No I am not Turkish and I by my view ( I watched all Kanter and Valanciunas friendly games) Kanter looked like scrub compared to Valanciunas. Jonas showed me way better hoops,even more energetic, beter 1on1 defence, way better help defence, was better at grabing boards because of his great hands and had very soft touch around basket. Sorry but everything I saw Jonas looked better. Maybe Kanter will pick it up but if he won't he will not survive in NBA. Besides one post move ( turnaround jumper) I didn't see any NBA moves. Even his rebounding, he was good boxing out but he had problems to grab them - many of them slipping, playing against more athletic bigs it could be a problem...

Hm...

he played 8 min at first half,and 6 in the second,i think it makes 14 minutes.and when he made most of those points on 4th quarter,gasol brothers were on the bench.he made his points in those minutes where spain was leading with 21 points and relaxed.but he did really good against Ibaka,good defence.
