I don't see how Kanter can succeed as a Jazz

No he's telling kanter to get the board. Watch it again. Beverly slips in front of Kanter for the board. Jefferson immediately is like wtf

Houston was smart to go at Kanter and pull him out. He is simply not effective out there. Evans and Kanter should have had opposite assignments on that play.

Looks like Jazz were getting back on defense. Whoever was supposed to guard Brooks completely f'ed up. Jefferson points and tells Kanter to cover Brooks. After the play, Jefferson is talking to Kanter, but doesn't look upset.

This early offense play resulted from a bad defensive awareness of Jefferson. He stayed in the middle and searched for Asik. He was the logical assignment for Brooks since Garrett was ion the weakside covering Garcia with no chance for defensive recovery. Burks was in the strong corner guarding Beverly. So it's Jefferson who sunk deep into the zone for no reason while not expecting a body and not being aware that brooks is his assignment with how the transition happened. That forced Kanter to step out.
F'ing Jefferson. No D as always and complaining afterwards.

Only mistake I see is not going after the rebound. With only Evans as a big down low he shouldn't really try to leak out.

True, he wasn't aware it was a long board. That was a bad move to not turn around after the shot, box out and try to get the reb.

but then you got to think ... who would we trade him for? and if we wanted a vetrin center then why not have just kept Big Al? .... I think he can be a star giv'n the right coach and system ... he looks alot like Dirk in dallas years ago ... only differnce is Dirk had a coach that belived in him and gave him a chance .... seriously he has little to no chance with Corbin and co ... neither does Alec Burkes

Why do people continue to compare him to Dirk? He has good footwork and nice shooting touch but nowhere near the body control and basketball IQ.

I mentioned in another thread that a true stretch 4 works better with Favors than another slower big. I think the Bucks could really use Kanter's inside scoring for sure. They don't need another rookie to wait for. If we get Randle, for example, he can play behind Marvin until he shows he's better. They could protect it Top 2, if they want.
 
It's a strange world we're living in.. The most talented Jazz now getting 12 mpg in a rebuilding year because the clueless coach wanted you to think he is the scapegoat..
Dude was averaging 18/9 with JLIII as the PG ffs,
Burke is back instantly making the team much better and guess what? People now think, "oh, so the lineup change has worked" Corbin not only puts the blame on Kanter but looks like a genius starting Marvin.

You wonder how incompetent yet tricky/sly guys get coaching jobs in the NBA? Remember this example

Ahh, I see. I was wondering what Jefferson might have been saying to him. I didn't notice before that Kanter was watching the shot and getting ready to go back on offense. Should have gone after it, but it's not true that he's not effective out there. We've all seen how good he can be. He might need to grow up a little I think.

I think kanter is only here for this year and next...... then he is a free agent (restricted)

Which means if he hates Utah he can go and get a one year offer that Utah can match. So if the Jazz want him here he is here for a minimum of 3 more years.

I think what he was saying is that Kanter is not good out on the floor away from the basket defensively.

Watching kanter fire three after three (with remarkable accuracy) on passes from Alex Jensen. He's not screwing around; legitimately working
