Favors and Kanter quietly both showing 20/10 potential

I really like Kanter's offensive touch, seems like he can help keep the Jazz in games when other players struggle to find their shot.
Also his defense has improved. I mean he isn't great or anything, but I've noticed him improving a lot over the past 5 games or so
 
I bet Kanter is the most frustrating player for Quin to coach he's doesn't seem think quickly on the court. He puts on some nice scoring displays but I've always wondered what other players on the team think of Kanter. Do they even like playing with a guy that can't pass and blows defensive assignments more times than not?

With the ability to match as an RFA for whatever team gets him, he would be a pretty valuable trade piece at the deadline, however. Kanter would be dominant out East. Trading him for a 3 and D guy is probably the most likely outcome. If money weren't an issue, I'd like to keep him. . .

Kanter has been really impressive the last few games not just offensively, but defensively as well.

I see his trade very very probable and he is doing himself and the jazz a favor by scoring more efficiently.

Good to know that Kanter is on track to follow a mediocre and overrated Carlos Boozer only with less skill set. Boy oh Boy the Jazz are on their way!!!

I think kanter is younger than boozer was when he was with the jazz.

Boozer played three years of college ball iirc and then was with Cleveland before utah.

Kanter joined the jazz as an 18 or 19 year old and then had to deal with Corbin.


Also boozer was an injury prone soft *****.

The choice was between him and Burks and the Jazz have chosen Burks.

Anyway Kanter will be appreciative with Snyder that is helping him to improve his game.

I guess Enes would be glad to change team...Jazz never relied on him firmly in these four seasons. This season things are going better....but as Cy said, Snyder does not trust in him blindly...he does not have a leading role with the Jazz.

Trading Kanter would be a big mistae

One could always hope that what happened to Greg Monroe in FA will happen to him. Maybe this was the theory with signing Burks instead (trying to avoid the Hayward situation with everyone wanting young athletic wings). As of now, it certainly looks like Jazz inked the wrong player. I thought for sure Alec was going to thrive in this new system.

I often wonder what Kanter thinks when Trey Burkes or Alec Burk defensive assignment has blown by them AGAIN and he has to decide AGAIN stay with my man or slide over to ONCE AGAIN try to pick up their blown defensive assignment

Kanter doesn't think when this scenario happens.

I'm not even a little bit worried about Burks. Once Exum starts taking a bigger role on the team, Burks will thrive and be well worth his contract. At 20 and 10 Kanter will get a minimum of 15 million and as much as I like him, we can't pay that when we have two other promising rotational bigs, plus a decent Booker. Unlike, Sap or Al, the RFA part of his expiring makes it extremely valuable.
