Kanter so far compared to another rookie

[MVP]

If hypothetically Minnesota offers Derrick Williams for Kanter would you do it?

Of course. Jazz are pretty much set at PF and center for years to come and Williams is potential all-star in SF position where Jazz are very weak. This move would make Jazz contenders in couple years.

Now that sounds like a great thread.
I wouldn't though. Kanter's got a great jumpshot stroke, power post moves, amazing post defense, and rebounding skills up the whasoo.
He just needs to use Favors on the offense much better. If he gets the O-rebound and passes off to Favors, that's a great duo.

Haven't seen anything about Kanter yet that I would call amazing.

Kanter for Williams is an interesting proposition. I would probably stick with Kanter because I'm not convinced Williams is a great option at SF. Also he seems redundant to Sap.

I agree with all three points.

I think Williams is better now, as far as future goes who knows. But I agree with your point Williams is not a 3 yet and maybe never will be. He is redundant of Milsap but if you could have 2 Milsaps on the court I think I might take it.

Derrick Williams cant create anything in his own. He is not gonna be half of the player Beasley is right now. He is just a strong finisher around the rim, thats it. He is not gonna be an all star. Kanter has much better potential

Williams and potential all star seems funny in the same sentence. He can at most be a back up in a contender.

It is all Rubio's fault, he makes simple players look like they are potential all star.

.....and the opponent can tell he is only thinking about passing.

....news flash! THe opponent knows he is only thinking about passing....because they've seen him shoot before!

He has no tats, hasn't been charged of any felonies .. isn't that enough?

So you would trade away part of what has the Jazz "pretty much set at PF and center for years to come"?

This would then make a logjam at the wings and the Jazz would then need to find another back up PF/C

funny, I could say same things about Kanter. Lets be honest, unless Jazz trade big AL or Favors, Kanter is not starting anytime soon.
