Favors and Kanter quietly both showing 20/10 potential

********. Kanter's play has been trending up over the last couple weeks. With the cap expected to increase considerably, matching an offer for Kanter well above $10mm per year could still be reasonable AND keep the Jazz below the luxury tax.

So far, Alec's extension looks terrible though...dude's shooting worse from 2 than Trey, and might be the worse defender of the two.

If Favors could show up consistently, he would have Anthony Davis level PER. It's amazing to me that he's at 23 PER with how many games he has completely disappeared from.

That's his chronic problem tho, he disappears. İf he played with serious intensity consistently he'd be a perennial all-star.

I'm not sure, but I think he wanted to say that Snyder benched often Kanter because of mismatches and in the closing moments of the game.

Then a dick comes along and doesn't even contribute to anything.
Good job dick.

What I said is true. He said, poor kanter has to make decisions on defense because the wings get beat.

EVERY BIG IN THE LEAGUE HAS TO MAKE DECISIONS ON DEFENSE WHEN A PLAYER ON THE WING GETS BEAT.

do you disagree with that statement?
 
Favors has come a long way. He's not a go-to player, but he's a decent 2nd or 3rd option on offense. I guess we have a few of those.

A guy I compared Favors to in the past was Brian Grant--a tough, physical, defensive-minded 6'10 PF/C who played hard and filled in on offense when needed. Favors seems to be developing a few signature moves that make him a more complete player.

Just because you are too dense to see the value, doesn't mean you should put that stupidity on our Jazz FO.if he is 20/10, you pay what you've got to. To keep, or to trade. You use that RFA to your advantage.

This happens to every team in the league.

Wings on every single team in the league get beat and bigs have to make that same decision.

Happens to favors, booker, and gobert too

Yes it does happen t every big, but maybe not to the same extent. Alec and Trey are a pretty bad defensive backcourt.

Also, of the players you mentioned, Favors is the only one who makes the right decision consistantly, but even then, he might just foul a 3 pt shooter.

Point is, if our defense is to get better, it really has to start with our gaurds. That is the source.
 
If Kanter is in the Jazz long term plans it would make sense for them to limit his exposure this year to hopefully lower his value.

I've been thinkin as well. He has the third best PER by a pretty large margin, but is playing 24 mins a game. Shooting lights out on a team that is struggling FG% wise.

Jazz w/o Kanter's offense, or a decent replacement would be pretty damn ugly, IMHO.
