Sorry dude, but Kanter has been **** on defense, **** on defensive rebounding, and hasn't really improved offensively since last season. I'm just hoping its rust from not playing over the past 6 months.

Me too man, and im trying to consider that rust for not playing for months and he is for sure out of shape cause he cant even post up Hickson properly(same with boxing out). Kanter is a young player that has flaws on his deffensive game. We already know that, nothing new. But his mid range jumper is the proof that he improved offensively since last season.
 
Randy Foye shot 3/10 and only 1/5 from 3-pts.

Yet, his +/- was +22 in 31 minutes.

Not that I read too much into that stat, but it shows the value of having a shooter on the floor, just to create space for everyone else.
 
I think i get this whole tank thing now. We are not tanking, we are tanking for posterity. We need 8 wins or less to become the worst team in NBA history and i think we can do it.

Are you a fan of Spartacus the TV show?
 
Any one of our guys could say "**** this, I'm taking over!" then explode for 35 points.


Problem is, we don't have a guy who can score 30 or 35 points.

WEll, then we obviously need to trade Hayward, Kanter or Favors for him according to some posters on this board who give credence to +/- stats.
 
So Kanter does not pass the eye test to a lot of us, and he has not been rebounding like he used to. He looks terrible on defense, and just looks lost sometimes. I think and hope he will figure some of this out, but I am beginning to think the "Kanter is a passable defender" line that we hear on here a lot is not actually true. He might just be a bad defender like Boozer and Jefferson. Are we ok with that? And when will he wake up and at least get some rebounds and not look lost?
