Quin Snyder says no problem with Enes Kanter . wha does he means?

20/10 guy is a tired statistic in 2015, with the advent of advanced metrics. 20/10 with a guy that can't or won't play within the system, plays lazy defense and has obvious designs on his own stats over the teams best interest is pretty easily identifiable, even to the average fan now.

Carlos Boozer says "yo".

I think Enes unhappiness is caused by the fact that he is often ignored offensively, especially when he plays with Favors. He is often ignored down the strech too or benched in the clutch. The defense excuse does not work all the time...for exemple he was playing well against Dallas and he was guarding decently Nowitzki but he has been benched without reason when the game was still tight.

He does not have a clear role in this team.

I think his unhappiness is licit somehow and this the first time he complained after 4 seasons, despite being humiliated different times.

Anyway he has some faults too...he suffered the competition with an emerging Gobert and this a weak point.

No clear role? He's been starting. On a per minute basis he takes more shots than Trey. Yes, that's right...ahead of our chief chucker! Snyder has subbed offense for defense down the stretch quite a few times and rotated Gobert/Kanter. And some matchups (Aldridge) have dictated Gobert plays over Kanter.

Ergul does have a point about Kanter not being developed properly his first few seasons, particularly his 2nd year and last season, when he was blamed repeatedly by the media for our losing and benched by Corbin after just a handful of games when we had Laurel and Hardy as our PG's. Also, Ergul did point out Kanter resents playing the least amount of minutes of all the starters (referring to the original group, obviously).

Yes, Enes wants minutes and stats in a contract season. While Snyder states he has no problem with Enes - and Ergul says they're happy with THIS season's coaching staff and development, it's still not going to be a good fit going forward. Kanter will just play for the QO and then leave after next season where he can start, get 35 mins, and put up Big Al numbers. It's a me-first, Carmelo-type attitude and the Jazz don't need that on the team, especially with a rapidly developing Gobert ready to start.

Kanter takes close to 2 more shots than Favors per 36.... He is the player on the roster with most FGA per 36. 1 more than Gordon, 1 more than Trey, 2 more than Favors.

Maybe he's ignored because he never passes the ****ing ball. He doesn't even try.

As has already been pointed out, Enes takes the most shots per minute on the team, as he did last season. He's also third on the team in 4th quarter shots per minute, less than one tenth of a shot per 48 behind Gordo (trey leads by a fair margin). He's not being frozen out/ignored in the least.
 
Come on folks, this is basketball management 1A: always put a happy face on, all your players are great, all your players are happy, you want to sign them all up forever, you would never trade them except for Lebron and two number one picks.
 
Could somebody subtract from the FGA equation all of Enes's putbacks please.
Enes follows the ball, gets good position for offensive rebounds, or he just uses his strength to get the ball for a putback.
Where is the assist? Who is the passer?
Thought so.
