Kanter 30 Pts and 16 Rebs... And Now the Rest of the Story...

The Kanter trade was over 6 weeks ago. For those of you that are still posting things due to his performance, and he said, she said, should do so in the NBA general discussion thread. For those of you that are pissed off over the trade and continue to piss and moan about it- build a bridge and GET OVER IT. If Kanter's development is the only thing that you can think of to post over and over and over and over and over again.... Go make macaroni necklaces in the toddler center of your local library. *Dates and times may vary*

Kanter's man defense and post defense is not horrible. He might even be average there. The biggest problem with him is when he has to defend in space, defend the PnR, rotate, etc. pretty much every time he has to think and react to something that's happening around him, every time(not literally, but very often) he has to read a situation and make a quick decision, he gets lost... This is a problem with BBIQ and it's generally really hard to correct...

And this is what is hard in today's NBA : defense for a center is a high IQ job, it is about reading the offense, calling the PnRs and switches, knowing when and how to hedge, and being there as well to alter shots at the rim when the offense manages to penetrate the defense. Lots of reading and movement. Offense is comparatively simple, find the spot to get the ball and then try to put it in, + go for O rebounds. No need to think much, it can all be very instinctive. Even some passing on offense from the big man can be very instinctive too, with repetitions of schemes.

I don't see moderator by your name, so the group may continue discuss Kanter as often and for whatever duration they are so inclined. The fact of the matter is that many of us are coming to grips with the fact that we wasted the #3 pick in the 2011 draft. After seeing what the team has done without him, I couldn't care less that he's gone. But it sucks to deal with the fact that we had such a high pick and wasted it on Kanter. Not that busts are unusual in the league, but it still sucks when it happens to you.

BTW, if you see Kanter in the subject, feel free to ignore it.

Kanter did not bust. Had Utah been able to get him signed to a multi-year deal, he would have been a valuable trade chip. Utah was the victim of a player with a ****ty attitude. It happens. Time to move on, and for those who want to dwell on it for the next several years, that is what the neg button is for.

So you will talk about Kanter perpetually? I think it is best to put you on ignore before they ban me. They will.
