What's new

Enes Kanter works out for the Jazz

I'm surprised nobody has freaked out and lumped this thread into the disjointed 16-page draft thread. What else is there to talk about???
 
The more I read about Kanter the more I think he is going to be the pick regardless of wing needs. According to nbadraft, he is 6'11 now, in shoes at least.


Bigman with excellent size, strength and polish … Combines brute strength with a high skill level … Soft hands … Long arms and solid athleticism allow him to be a force in the paint … A tremendous rebounder. Plays with a high motor and enjoys contact … Has a strong frame and a high basketball IQ … Has a scorers mentality. Owns a diverse offensive game with the ability to use post moves and strength to score on his opponent or face the basket and knock down mind-range jumpshots … Has the strength to muscle through contact and finish … Smooth offensive game. Has a soft touch and excellent shooting motion … Good free throw shooter … Has legitimate center size. Measured 6-11, 261 lbs at the LeBron James Skills Academy in July … Possesses great dexterity and body control for a bigman … Coachable kid with a positive attitude and strong work ethic …


interesting fact: his dad's name is Mehmet

I don't even know where to start.

How about anywhere?

You think he is all world? Really? I mean, I know he is a strong MVP candidate this year, and has improved a ton this year (better supporting cast has helped), but for me to dub someone "All world" they need to have performed at a very high level for a few years... not just 3/4 of a season.
 
You putting Griffin in there but not Rose or Wade is laughable.

Griffin is a year or two out, but he is all-world. Rose and Wade aren't going to win any championships on their own. Griffin has the talent to propel a good team into contention. Rose and Wade can propel a very good team into contention
 
If you believe that Jefferson (25 years old) and Favors (19 years old) are the frontcourt of the future (which I personally think they can be , then it does not make sense to draft another center, who has a high risk to be a below average big man (the last true European center who worked out, if I remember correctly, was Vlade Divac).

It has been years since we had a quality shooting guard. We had that last year but we had to let him go to address a bigger need. Now, it's definitely a chance for us to get one for the future, whether it's through the draft or through a trade that includes the pick as a package. I do personally like Barnes. I think even if his upside is just a John Salmons or Michael Redd, it should help us tremendously.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, I can refute that point entirely using the name Gasol.
 
Utah doesn't need anymore bigs unless there going to trade Millsap for a sg/sf. Thats what the Jazz need to focus on right now. Let Millsap,Favors, and Jefferson grow together and sign Fez for like 2.5 mill for like 3 years. He would be a cheap bench big man. And let them develope into our bigs for the future.

You mean because Fes and Elson are so dominant?
There's a huge difference between "cheap" and "capable." Said goodbye to Fes, he gives Utah one good game of about 5 mins, then can't tie his shoes the next three.
