What's new

Oui Oui Gobert!

By itself, the "leak" would be insignificant. But it was reported, by reputable sources, that there is division within the Jazz organization on whether or not Kanter and Favors can play together efffectively. I'm a fan of both. I like Kanter. But both he and Favors have inside games. Kanter is much like Jefferson. Right now his "go-to" move is the up and under he learned from Big Al.
Favors has no inside game to speak of. Hell, he has no reliable offense at all apart from pick and roll which we are yet to see. And for bold part alone you better log out and ask admin to delete your JF account. The blue part is just plain ********. I am suggesting you to check out Kanter's performance at Nike Hoops Summit. Learned from Big Al, my ***.
How you managed to put so much crappy falsehood in few sentences is beyond me.

I watched the summer league last season. I watched the games this year. I don't give a damn about the Nike Hoops Summit THREE years ago. It wasn't an NBA game. He hasn't shown those skills since, at least not consistently. Kanter's best offensive move IS the up-and-under with a couple of head fakes. It's very Al-esque and Kanter admitted he was learning from Al. Enes can score on putbacks and has SOME outside game. But it is NOT consistent. He wasn't even dominant in summer league last year. His game is EXTREMELY raw still. I do agree re: Favors. He has a nascent offensive game. And this is PRECISELY the concern I mentioned. Kanter and Enes have to be around the basket right now, with a nod to Enes on taking it out to 10 ft or so. And a nod to Favors on defense. Starting both of them compromises the offense quite a bit.

I'm not down on Enes and I'm not down on Favors. I'm just saying their skill sets aren't complementary (YET). And I hope in 6 months that will change with both being able to develop some mid-range skills like Malone had.

When is this hogwash going to die? The up-and-under is one of the oldest and least complicated moves you can learn and is something that has been in Kanter's repertoire before Kanter ever even met Jefferson. And Jefferson doesn't use that move much anyway.

KOC: "We are working furiously to get GObert clearance and hope we can get him into the summer league for a couple of games."

Yes it is old. Maybe "perfected" is a better term. And are you kidding me? Al used or tried to use it all the time. Maybe not with the extra dribble at the end, but the principle was the same. Get the ball on the low block, ball fake left, give a couple of head and body fakes, turn back right, fake the shot and then go underneath his man. He used it so much teams would bait him into it and then send a help defender late and Al would turn right into the double team. Look at Kanter's progress from the summer league, when his inside game was very pedestrian and no one was biting on his moves, to what he later developed this past season. AL's influence was very evident. Kanter was more effective (and against NBA-level competition), but there were times I remember screaming for Enes to get rid of the ball.
 
Al posts up left block and spins middle for the weezy or holds the ball at the high post for 6 seconds then throws up a shot on 70% of his possessions. This is completely unscientific. Al does have an up-and-under, but I've really not seen him use it as primary move. Probably because that would require him to bend his waist which he hardly does.

That too, but I also remember him turning back right many times because I could shout out at least 2 seconds in advance that the double team was coming.

You have mastery grammar skill, man, but saying Enes Kanter is an Al Jefferson prototype is absolute ********.

I do feel Favors n Gobert could possibly be our future frontline, because I'm convinced Malone can teach height.

Gobert can only dunk no other offensive game and he is 21 like Enes Kanter. Gobert will be an energy guy off the bench like chris andersen in his prime which is good 20 minutes 7 points 7 rebounds and good not great rim protection. His ceiling is same as Larry Sanders'.

I agree on the no offensive skills part. But Larry SAnders does not have a 9'7" reach. Gobert can be an elite defender...if he can add some weight.
