Kanter = Very Impressive

What I like about Kanter most is the he appears to learn very quickly. He had an ok/good first game and each game has gotten better. That and he plays like a bull down low. I love tthe physicality we show when him and Favors are in together.

I hated the Kanter pick to start with. An European center with small hops? Jazz have been down that road before....

True. He's sucked so badly that he's 3rd in the NBA in rebounds per 48 (behind Howard and Frye), grabbing 7.3 rebounds per game in just 16.7 minutes per game. He really sucks for a 19 year old.
 
I like him a lot. I think he plays similar to Noah, 100 % high motor all the time. He'll be able to score in time just needs to relax and it will start to fall.

If you're like me and watched rebounds bounce away from second team big men like Fesenko, and Collins and Elson year after year, you would realize what a frickin god send this kid is.

He has been a good rebounder and show flashes of good and bad defense. His footwork is great, but his finishing is about as bad as I have ever seen for a 6'11 player (not named the Collins brothers). His putback dunk does show hope for him being able to finish strong, but you have to remember on putback dunks you get two steps to gather yourself. Can Enes gather himself and finish strong off a dropstep, or no steps? That remains to be seen.

I'm actually surprised Corbin has been going to the Kanter post-up play as much as he has considering it has produced so little. It shows good confidence in him, so I trust Enes will eventually come around.

The footwork seems solid every time, and he consistently gets a good opportunity to put up an easy layup. Its his third game of the season, I don't think Corbin is too worried that it hasn't fallen with consistency yet, all of the pieces are there its just a matter of Kanter getting into the rhythm of things.

I am worried about the explosiveness, though. Hopefully it progresses throughout his career. Regardless, he has played very well for a rookie thus far

I'm just glad to see that Kanter's play has Cyrone softening on his hate spew. (I know, I know Cy, you don't hate Kanter .. what I meant to say is constantly bash.)
Kanter's doing exactly what I expected him to do. Rebound big, play hard, and get better in other areas faster than most rooks do.
 
Kanter blew up the treadmill stamina test at the combine.
What he lacks in explosiveness he will make up with endurance.
 
I know it's only three games, but Brandon Knight is averaging 14 ppg. How long will it be before Kanter averages 14 ppg, even over a three game period? Face it, we failed with our third pick.
