This is what Kanter needs.
HAHA
realistically though, Kanter, along with Favors, needs more PT to improve. They both need to play through their mistakes.

The good thing to think about too is the Jazz really don't need anything in Kanter other then his rebounding skills. There are plenty of guys on the Jazz who will need their touches before Kanter and he would just be taking away from them.
I just hope Kanter comes into his 2nd year with improved finishing off of rebounds and better understanding of the game with his floor spacing and passing.
If he could improve his P'n'R defense I would be happy.
Obviously not. I'm just saying most people with a killer work-ethic (ala Karl Malone) would come to camp in NBA shape and not use vacationing/visiting family as an excuse. You can still visit your family in Turkey and do intense work outs.
I would trade Kanter for Pek straight up. That's one big dude, strong, with lots of raw talent and cannot jump just like Enes.
I'm hoping he can stay on the floor thanks to his defense and rebounding. Or gets traded for a 2 or 3.
You know the NBA training camp doesn't start into August, right?

I know he was working out in San Diego if I remember correctly, but with that said, I have no problem for players to take a few weeks off of their strength and conditioning exercises. I personally think that's healthy and best for them.

Give me a break, Kanter had plenty of moves in the games last year when he just went off.
Well duh, yeah he's obviously not consistant yet.
He needs a little coaching and a training camp, some mentoring from other bigs and he'll be fine.
Does anyone realize he went from playing ball for only 4 years, to not playing at all in college, to playing the best players in the world with no training camp and an insanely shortened pre-season?
Bigs are always a work in progress, and it will probably be a couple more years before we see a full on Kanter.
He hasn't gotten an offensive rebound in that position yet.

He's still got 2 months.

I haven't really watched the Summer League games, but last year he showed he's actually quite good at PnR defense.

Thanks for responding.
Meant summer league. That's what I get for writing quickly on a phone.

Sentence fragment.
I don't have a problem with some time off either, unless it means coming to work out of shape. I do know he worked out in San Diego, so I'm not saying he completely blew off conditioning.

The internet has failed me. I hope you understand whatever language that Simpsons quote is from because I can't find it anywhere.
