Kanter watch

Man Enes Kanter be getting some hate. Found a post on the OKC forum by a guy who only has one post so far

"Seriously guys don't get too carried away with a good performance from Kanter, he has a long history of impressive but ultimately meaningless points and rebounding totals in soft situations and unimportant games. Once KD comes back and Kanter doesn't get the touches and shot attempts and you see what his D is like in playoff type games in limited minutes you'll find out.
Westbrook could make my grandma look good, he's seriously an animal."

Some dude made an account just to trash Kanter? Or at the very least his first post?

I bet that is someone from this forum
 
"It’s good to see him picks things up quickly. Enes brings an IQ to the game. He has soft hands around the basket and is a good rebounder."

-Scott Brooks
 
I am honestly shocked at how well Kanter is playing. Helps having 3 or 4 guys playing with you you cant double off of.

Yeah I saw that too. It's gonna happen man you can't stop that. He has a point actually. Kanter did put up empty stats every now and then. But he never -repeat- NEVER played that enthusiastic, freely and hard for the Jazz before.

Sounds like one of the haters on Jazzfanz.
 
Good article to view it on the other side of things. How OKC views Enes so early after his debut.

Randy Renner from OKC had this to say about him after the Nuggets game.

Kanter has fit in immediately with group, as have the other mew guys, and the numbers Kanter has put up in his first teo games make you wonder what the heck the Jazz were thinking in letting him go. - See more at: https://www.insidethunder.com/#sthash.zzH2cN80.dpuf

Watching the thunder game, it halftime right now. Kanter doing ok, put up 6-4 so far but no assists(no TO either tho). Doesn't seem to be hustling as much as last two games I was hoping he would get better every game.
 
Kanter has been allowing 42.4% FG when defending a shot last three games. He has been allowing over just over 50% for the Jazz this season and last season(Rudy Gobert has been allowing 42.5% last three games as well). This stat doesn't take into account many factors is obviously and is flawed like any stat but is promising for Kanter and I hope he keeps it up.
