I think the emphasis on pace this upcoming season will help Kanter a lot, and not hurt him. He excels at running the floor, and has the ability to be one of the first players down the court.
A lot of his naysayers say he will be the odd man out because we won't be throwing the ball in to the post Al Jefferson style, and then waiting. I say that style is what hurt him. If you look at his style in the Nike Hoops Summit game, his moves are quick and decisive. He dropped 34 pts in that game at age 17, effectively setting a new record:

The past couple of years it made sense for him to play like Big Al, because that is who Corbin loved, and how Corbin wanted him to play.
I really believe Quin's system will help Kanter to blossom, not ruin him. He'll still need to learn how to be a better defender and passer, but I believe he can do it. His new role model won't be Al Jefferson. He'll start to form his own identity.
A fast paced system that emphasizes floor spacing seems like a good thing for a big man who can run the floor, and by all accounts, can shoot the three.
