Kanter observations

Kanter's first-half against the Raptors was possibly his worst-half of the season - at both ends of the court. Late/unaware on his defensive rotations and wasn't running the floor hard defensively. It was encouraging to see him improve his effort in the 2nd-half. That's all you really want - is to see our young players stick with it and keep competing. Kanter has the potential to develop into a more reliable offensive player, but at this point it's an effort=production formula for him.

I missed that game and am very surprised to hear that Enes was dogging it in the first half. He's a tireless worker and has a high motor, so there's no excuse for anything less than a '10' effort ... especially in limited minutes.

Wait....WHAT?

Of course the numbers are not cumulative. What I meant was it only took Koufus all these years for him to be able to rebound at the same rate as Kanter who just started playing this year!

Koufus is also playing against 2nd or even 3rd units so no I'm not saying he's become one of the games' best centre.

Far out.. do you understand anything??? No wonder you've only got 6 Rep power after 2,000 odd posts..

Watch it!!! Some of us dont live by how many rep points we have.

Wow Kosta is on that PER rebounding list too. I still think the Jazz gave up too early on Kosta. I think Kanter will get better. He has a strong work ethic. He is adjusting to the speed and athleticism of the NBA besides learning the way the Jazz play. I think what he needs to develop is a jump hook and a jump shot. I think a jump shot would allow him to drive pass guys. The jump hook would allow him to get off his shot inside. Once he develops these two types of shots he could be a handful with his foot work.

Denver likes him. Just extended him 3 year for 9 mil.

I was at the game and maybe it's the build up in my own head but he did seem not to be rebounding like he usually seems to and seemed late in rotating on D. Second half picked up but still my overall general feel for his performance was a let down but I wasn't really watching him closely and by no means am I a good judge other then being a fan but it was the first time I remember feeling that way about him after a game.
So not bad really though 1 game out of how many now, everybody has nights once in awhile that they just aren't there.

Appreciate the additional feedback. I wouldn't be so concerned about having an off night of stats .. I'm very patient with results as long as the 100% effort is there. I have zero patience for lack of effort.

Third year is a team option. And obviously for a big man in the NBA that's even marginally useful, $3 milion per is a steal

Not to mention a pretty shrewd deal for Kosta. Birdman's 33, Nene has had his injury issues, and he's only got to beat out Faried and Mozgov for PT over the next 2 years. Smart, career building move on his part.
