Passing can improve for sure, but there is also an unteachable side of passing. Some players are just naturals at passing and can anticipate movement on the court very well, some can't. Kanter is on the far end of the negative side of the spectrum.
Favors was also towards that end, but he has shown the IQ to know where players should be in the offense when he catches the ball in the paint. Still not a very good passer, but he has been average for a starting center. I see Favors progressing.
Whenever I see Kanter catch the ball towards the rim, he doesn't even really seem to scan the court and take in information. He only seems worried about his man. Doesn't even recognize double teams until it's too late. Doesn't seem sure of where teammates are on the court. All that could get better with experience, but he doesn't really seem to have a great desire to improve his passing. I think Favors has shown that desire.
