Kanter = 20/10 MACHINE

I still don't get this myth on Jazzfanz that Favors is timid or scared.

It's funny how quickly people get down on Favors and Hayward. Next year the same thing will happen with Kanter and Burks. If promising rookies don't make a quantum leap nn their 2nd-year they have a hard time surviving message board fodder.

The past 2 weeks I've seen a much more aggressive Favors - particularly at the offensive end. Of course, there's been mixed results at that end - but a big question in my mind was if Favors had it in him to be an above-average scorer - and he's been showing more aggression at the offensive end recently.

Sophomore slumps are pretty common in the NBA. I am not worried about either guy to be honest.

He averages 2.8 fouls per 30 minutes. That's one of the lowest rates for the Jazz. It is a bit higher than Jefferson (2.6) since AJ doesn't believe in defense. I'm guessing you're just making things up.

....I suspect opposing teams will exploit his weakness even more if he got the playing time.....you can count on him fouling more, perhaps at a prolific rate!
 
Considering his age and defensive intensity, I find Kanter's ability to play without getting into foul trouble nothing short of amazing.
 
Is it 20pts and 10 rebounds or 20 rebounds and 10pts? I bet Kanter has a 20 rebound 10 point game before he has 20pts 10 rebound game! My guess is if he was given 30 minutes a game he would average 15 and 15, he still needs more of an offensive game to be averaging 20pts a game!
 
I like both Kanter and Favors, but Kanter is a better team player while Favors sometimes fail to make team plays and pass to the empty man. Once he learns how to contribute to the team better and pass at the right time to the open men, it will be better for him, for Kanter and all the team.
 
If Kanter got 40 minutes this season, he'd be lucky to average 12 points (though he might grab 15 boards.) His offensive game is light years away from being able to average 20. This is not a knock on him. But you literally can't throw the ball in the post to him and expect anything to happen. He's not going to average 20 points for several years. I'd guess year 4, maybe year 3 if he makes incredible jumps. I'm not even sure he'll ever average 20, but he's so young that there's no telling what he'll eventually do.
