Kanter had 5 points and a reb. in 2 minutes. Look who he's playing with right now. He's obviously the #1 option. Plus, every touch he takes is one less for Burke.
If Kanter could only pass we could go to him every play. He can't though, so going to him likely means our offense stops there. That is fine if he is facing single coverage. He won't though, teams will double late and force TO's.
