Well last 4 gms Kanter is 30/44 (68%), 14/16 FT (89%) .40 rebs,, {avg,18ppg /10rpg in 23 minutes} and yes it makes a difference when you always read how the fans in this forum are screaming about needing another big ,not liking Booker or Lyles play !

Yes, we do need another big. But not one who earns $16M and gives up nearly as many points as he scores. Even a blind squirrel finds an occasional acorn. Kanter will have some good games. But overall he still remains the worst defending big in the league and is a terrible value for his salary.

Even a blind squirrel finds an occasional acorn.

Well this blind squirrel (Kanter) is 4th in the NBA in finding the acorn (.576 %)
Also Kanter is #79 in (+/-) Gobert #80 and Favors #318
Kanter's PER is #6 behind #1Curry,#2Westbrook,#3Durant,#4Leonard,#5James
Kanter's TS% is #3 behind #1 Curry ,#2 Durant

Player Impact Estimator (PIE) for players who average 10 or more minutes:

1. Kanter
2. Leonard
3. Curry
4. James
5. Westbrook
6. Durant
7. Gasol
8. Paul
9. Harden
10. Davis

Next year the salary cap goes way up so who's to say Kanters going to be way overpaid.

Kanter hate here is dwindling down to just Utah fanz,whereas I'm pissed at the Utah front office for giving into a f**ken kids hissy fit.He still acts like an overgrown kid with OKC but he's producing and Utah is floundering.

Who did Utah get back for Kanter now ?

 

[MTS]

There's a reason Kanter barely averages over 20 minutes a game. And it isn't because Billy Donovan's an idiot.

They got back the right to not pay Kanter a max contract to come off the bench for 20 minutes a game while still being the worst defensive big in the NBA. Which is priceless.

His RPM is 59th out of 73 centers, so I'm not sure I agree with the premise of this question.

Hes that bad still has better +/- than everybody on the second team, last night he was one of the best in the whole team,explain

 

[MTS]

Because +/- is a flawed stat that relies on too many variables that have nothing to do with the individual player.

According to +/-, in 2009 Kevin Durant was the 2nd worst player on the Thunder. As you would say - "explain".

But when you guys use it against Kanter its okay, PER is useless beacuse its shows Kanter is good,+/- useless when its favor Kanter, even if he become MVP someday,haters will find a stat that hes bad at and will keep on hating
