What's new

kanter is boxing out

He's not as strong as old times after losing pounds and the injury so pushed easily under the rim even though he's been in good possession. He was Pekovic like a wall but now a stretch PF. He was guarding heavy pounded C's in his rookie year and his defensive rebounding numbers are cool and noone was mentioning about boxing out. Try to think him boxing out Asik, Marc Gasol, Howard, Pekovic, Adams, Cousins etc

Safe to say that these stats along with the career low numbers in reb% across the board are alarming. His one 'elite' skill coming into the league was rebounding. You always hear that a player needs at least one elite skill to thrive in the league. I was sure that rebounding would be his. Now, i don't know what to think. Hell, most advanced rebounding metrics indicate he's not even a top-third rebounder... scary if it ends up staying this way all season.

....heck, the Jazz will probably give him a "max" contract!....like they did with Klinko. Certainly they will overpay him, like they did with Ostertag! At least Ostertag knew how to box out on the defensive boards!
