Problem I have with that is it's one guy leading 13'ish. A more important position that one player's seat on the bench. I'm not hatin' .. it's just different than comparing him to players.

Kanter has the tools to be an effective player in the NBA (great hands, strength, surprisingly quick feet). Even if he doesn't become a star, he should be useful for a long time.
As PKM has said, a team only has one head coach, and it's not clear whether Corbin has the tools to become a great one. Even if he's average, the team's performance is capped unless they get lucky or have an overwhelming amount of talent.

Guys I was checking out the draft measurements at draftexpress and for the first time I noticed that it has hand sizes on there... Did you guys know Enes Kanter has one of the largest hand sizes measured there? For example Kanter has larger Hands then Derrick favors. Kanters hands are sometimes even a full inch larger and wider then people who are taller then him?
I feel really gay talking about the size of a guys hands btw... It's just something I saw recently and had to post somewhere!
For comparison: Length and Width
Enes Kanter 9.5 inch and 10.75 inch
Greg Monroe 8.75 inch and 9.5 inch
Nikola Vucevic 9.25 inch and 10.25 inch
Derrick Favors 8.75 inch and 9.25 inch
I thought Kanter was Kwame Brown, I guess not.

What? Why? Kanter has fantastic hands. Kwame might not have hands at all.

Well Kanter does have a lot of turnovers when he gets it in the post. Also someone on Locke's vokle or vogal or w/e it called someone asked the question if he thinks Kanter has Kwame type hands. Locke said a definite "heck no" pretty much. I thought maybe his turnovers were from hand size but I now think it is actually just because he hasn't learned it when to pass quite yet.
Ya, he does have gigantic hands, and for quite some time, I have wondered why he doesn't use them to his advantage like Malone, Shaq, Jordon etc. I posted this earlier, but for those of you that didn't see it. Enes has to roll the bowling ball because his fingers are too fat to go into the holes.
Here's his reasoning (a little dirty sounding as pointed out on Jazzfanatical)

Awesome, didn't know that. Repped.
It's wierd that he has a good looking shot with big hands. Usually players with big hands seem to shoot crappy (see Shaq)

That you have cancer if your hands are bigger than your face?
....Wait this won't work on the internet
I'm not sure what you're referring to. Does it have anything to do with Enes' nickname, "Snuffalufagus"?

Ya I want to see Kanter use his hand size.... Look at what Michael Jordan did in game..

Literally rip the ball out of the air with one hand and shoot.

Yeah, can we stop with the shattering/spattering/exploding heads meme here? I'm finding it a bit anti-social.

Having not watched enough of Psycho T to make a judgment, how is he better? Statistically, Kanter has the edge IMO.
