Kanter Review in the First Preseason Game

The board is going to go in complete meltdown mode when they watch the Raptors SL and Jonas is playing tough.

The only way board will go into complete meltdown is after 3 years when Kanter will be either traded or let go and Jonas will get max deal;). And Jonas is not playing in summer league. Watch Olympic basketball to see him in 3 weeks.
 
I know Kanter was drafted 3rd and all...

But to be honest I'd be happy if Kanter can play a solid 3rd big role for us in the future - with Favors at C and Millsap at PF. Then may be Kanter can fill in as a starter when we're playing really big guys like Marc Gasol or Bynum and we need his size on the defensive end.

If Kanter can play solid defense while scoring easy buckets against opponents' reserves (if he reaches his potential he'll be tearing opponents' apart IMO) then I'd be happy with that.
 
Oh Man! Oh Man! Oh Man! Oh...... we should have drafted Jonas or Knight... Oh Man! Oh Man! Oh Man GIFSoup

That's OK - that's fine.

But where's the hook shot? Tim Duncan used the running hooks almost exclusively to get around Jefferson/Favors.

For crying out loud - Kevin Durant used it against LeBron in the Finals to great effect - and he's playing the SF!!

Even Shaq went on TNT saying he makes his living on 2 moves, the hook shot and the up & under inside shot. They're simply the 2 Moves that works well together.

If you can't sink that hook shot - players are not going to be fooled by the up & under!!!

For the love of God I have no idea why nobody has bothered to teach or tell Kanter to use the hook shot?!?!

Which coach do you want to teach him? The pg, one of the sgs or one of the sfs?

I hate to say this, but things aren't looking good. People were saying the exact same things about Kanter last year but making the excuse that he hadn't played the year before. Well, he's had a full NBA season under his belt. Has he gotten any better? Sounds like he may be another Koufos. But I sure hope not.

Fail
 
Jarron Kanter needs to go back to school and learn to play smart like Jarron Collins did. If you're just a big body and not much else you have to have a high BBIQ to earn playing time.
 
Honestly, aside from his strength and bulk, what has Kanter really shown? All people talk about is that he's young and got lots of potential. What is discouraging to me is that in the summer league games he doesn't look like he has improved much, if at all. To me, that is very revealing indicator. I'm reserving judgment, but right now he doesn't look that promising. And anyone who becomes a role player off the bench as a third pick has got to be considered a bust.

It's only been a month and a half since the end of the season. How much improvement were you expecting in that short amount of time?

I still have hope for Kanter, but he is still another year off before he can be a regular contributor. He still needs to learn how to play. SL helps, but in the end it's just high level pick up basketball.
