Our front court long term solution.

Not a 3. Get over him, move on, the future is forward not backward.

Hey Dick, Homey asked if there were any bigs that would be UFA's. I said Millsap because he is a big, and he will be a UFA. Get over it. The future is the future, and Millsap would be bad *** next to Gobert or Favors. Kanter and Millsap would suck though.

My name is not Richard and we were talking about 3s. Further, Sap has no place on this team. You gonna play him over Kanter, Favors, or Gobert?

I initially thought for sure Gobert & Favors would be our future (Favors has been hitting jumpers of late), but Kanter's performance last couple of games had surprised me.


If Kanter can hit those 3's consistently, boy oh boy does he have a future in this league. For now though Favors is still the safer bet to pair with Gobert.

I think he will. Seems to me a lot of guys come into the league and struggle with 3s but become much better over time. He is of course still quite young and can already hit some so I expect him to be pretty good with them over time. Can he learn to pass?

I want to see more of the Kanter/Gobert pairing. Thought they meshed pretty well while Favors was out.

Yeah I've just checked and he is hitting 3's at the rate of 33.3%. That's pretty good considering this is just his first year with the 3pt shot.

Yup, and I have been a doubter of Kanter until lately. He is now showing some urgency on D. He will never be a good defender, but if he can be a stretch 4, rebounder, and inside scorer, he is quite valuable. I can see Rudy throwing him a lot of passes from the lane for open 3s.

Going to depend alot on what kind of money kanter commands.

I love kanter and favors but truly believe rudy will be our starter at the center position.

I think kanter or favors will work well next to rudy. Keep the one with the best contract (probably favors)

Don't you think having a guy who can hit a 3 will work a lot better with Rudy? I just don't see Favors and Rudy meshing well.

I don't think it has to be a three. I think if favors develops a shot as good as boozer then that is enough.

Favors and gobert would be bawse as **** on defense

I'm sure there are alot of successful big men pairings in the league that don't have either big ever attempting threes.

Yeah, but Rudy is definitely an in the paint only scorer, and Favors is never going to be great out of the paint. And Kanters ability to hit the 3 really helps the combo.
