https://www.deseretnews.com/article/865595476/Memo-to-Utah-Jazz-Mehmet-Okur-hopes-to-help-Enes-Kanter.html

“I’d like to take him out and talk to him a little bit, see what happens, try to help him a little bit more,” Okur said. “That’s what I’m going to do the next time I come to town.”

“Learning from a guy like (Okur), it would be really good,” Kanter said. “We both play similar positions, shoot, and I think it would be really good.”

Maybe we'll finally see Enes shooting the 3 ball next year (after we extend him for half the price this off season)!?!!
 
Just to put this in perspective, I'd rather have Kanter closer to the basket for his excellent post play and rebounding ability. If he plays with Favors, spreading the d by having the 3 in his regular arsenal would be great, but hopefully not at the expense of his ability down low. Okur didn't have his footwork in the post.
 
Just like how Millsap has taken more three this year then his whole career, did he just all of a sudden realize there was a 3 point line...,


Nope just Corbin!!!
 
“I’d like to take him out to the three point line and talk to him a little bit, see what happens, try to help him a little bit more,” Okur said. “That’s what I’m going to do the next time I come to town.”

Fixed.
 
Love Memo but hope he does not teach Kanter how to defend this. Watching it back still pisses me off how game clock starts after Marbury makes at least two steps after touching that ball. Home cooking at its best.

a very bad idea.
Memo could have been a better C but he opted to be a sharpshooter!
He was one athletic SOB when he was young and since then never cared for his athleticism.
I don't want EK to be a Euro-wuss like Memo was.

And since he is allowed to shoot midrangers, he showed that he is really down for that road. The difference is possibly Kanter is tougher than Memo on post up. He likes to push them around. I can easily say that 3 pointer has a great probabilty to drag him further from inside, but I have no problem with it if he is staying with the Jazz. Because Jazz need spacing. Not enough 3 point threat. And who can reject a 3 point talent?

But Memo mentoring Kanter, if Memo can give his brain to him, I'd be OK with it. Kanter needs the brains. Hell, give him Hedo's brain and watch him become a super star!
 
okur wants a paycheck from the jazz organization to come talk to kanter about turkish food.

Oh yes how could I forget. I was at this game. A few rows behind the Jazz bench. I went ape **** with my gf when Deron hit the shot.
Then watched it all fall apart. I quickly covered my Jazz jersey, and quietly exited MSG into the cold NY night. I was PISSED.
 
I kind of hope that Memo talks more to him about growing up and learning the game than shooting long range threes. Malone is fine for Favors, they have similar backgrounds and personalities, but Kanter is a fish out of water being from Turkey living in the states. To have a fellow countryman who knows the language and the culture that Enes grew up in should help in his maturation.

Oh, and before people wig out on me for you know what, Malone would bond with Gordon better than Kanter for the same reasons.
