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

I also call BS. This was his year to shine he was given the starting job and he hasn't played well enough to keep it. In previous years he played very well off the bench getting 15min a night so I don't think limited minutes have anything to do with it. As bad as Hayward was playing Kanter has been worse in the last few games because of his consistent mistakes, physical and mental. Hayward was missing shots but still helping even though I think he was letting his shooting slump affect other parts of his game he was still doing just enough as well as there wasn't really anybody playing well enough to take his minutes unlike Marvin and Evans playing well enough to earn more minutes.

I think there is a fine line in just giving minutes in a rebuilding year and still making the players earn it and it can send the wrong message and I think that is the balance and message being sent to Kanter.
 
Kanter started the year ballin.. looked confident etc.. something isn't right and his confidence is shot. he isn't being utilized at all so how the hell is he suppose to improve especially being passed up marvin n rj.. gtfoh

1 of them was against Brooks and it was either guard him or leave him open. Not his fault. I don't remember the other one though.

One of them was that one, in the other one Jefferson ended up having to guard Asik and Jefferson had to foul Asik. That play made Jefferson chew Kanter out a bit and he kinda just left the game mentally after that.

It looks to me like corbin wants him out there which is a mistake. let him play d down low and keep his eye on the big man. Houston doesn't shoot midrange shots anyway. pointless to have him come out to help.
 
He looks too much in his head. Harpring made the perfect definition for him during the Rockets game. "He acts like he has to score whenever he touches the ball. He has to let the game come to him."
 
Kanter is coming off shoulder surgery and a sprained ankle and doesn't seem like he is in as good as shape as last year. I hate to say this, but the Jazz look soooo much better with Marvin playing the stretch 4 than Kanter and Favors jamming the middle.

The problem is that Favors and Kanter are both 4's. Kanter is not 6'11", he is 6'9" and struggles against long 4's and really struggles against centers. The Jazz have been patient with Kanter, but how much rope are they going to give him?
 
If i were Kanter i would not resign with Jazz after next year with the way how the management has dealt him. He started the season with 18/10 but then after a few bad games without a real PG, they decided he "cannot" play with Favors now he is getting 12 min a game. Because we are now winning with Trey, they just assume that Kanter relegation to bench is the right move, how about letting Kanter a try to play with a legit PG?

It will be fun to talk about Kanter when he is putting up 20/10 with another team in a couple of years
 
he'll never be any good without any playing time .... seriously marvin williams over a top lottery pick ... FIRE THE COACH!

Just like we talk about Boozer, and Milsap, and Al Jefferson.

Kanters highest value is that people still believe he is a 20 and 10 guy. Trade the asset.
