Kanter so far compared to another rookie

[cowhide]

Why doesn't Kanter shoot that jumper in a game? It would open up some space for him to get to the basket. I might be mistake but I thought Kanter played in high school/prep school in US but he didn't play college ball.

As I understand NBA rebound rates, over 14 minutes 4.6 is decent, and 5.3 is superior.

Well, 4.6 per 14 minutes doesn't quite get you to 10 rebounds per 30 minutes

I atleast want Kanter to catch the ball in a 3-point stance so people will think he is actually thinking about shooting.

He will. Give it time. Did you ever play pick up games where you knew every guy on the floor and especially on your team was better than you? And you didn't want to chuck up shots, wide open or not because quite frankly, you probably shouldn't? You sort of overthought so to speak? That's Enes right now. He probably wants to play mistake-free, rebound and play defense. In time, he'll grow more confident through hitting shots in practice, and having his teammates tell him to take those open jumpers in games, and then he'll do so here and there with some misses and some makes. But either way, it's baby steps and he's playing smart basketball for a 19 year old with very limited game experience.

if you are talking about enes,5.3 rpg in 14 min. makes 11 rebounds in 30 min.

What do you not understand about the effectiveness and purpose of the 3-point stance?

Yahoo & ESPN both have Vucevic's weight at 240 & Kanter at 262 (yahoo) 267(Espn)

Where are you getting your numbers?

Excuse me, it's actually called the triple threat in basketball. Thinking about football on a Sunday.

It's basically catching and holding the basketball in such a way that would suggest passing,shooting, or dribbling as an option for the ball handler. Kanter currently catches the ball in a flat-footed, upright position. He can only pass from this position, and the opponent can tell he is only thinking about passing. Kanter has enough range that the opponent has to respect the possibility of a jumper more than they are currently are.
