Reggie Miller on Enes Kanter

Jeffrey32 said:
Kanter is a perfect fit for OKC, as he is the only low post option the team has ever had. Kanter's ability to offensive rebound and score on the block opens up the perimeter more for Westbrook and Durant (when he comes back). If OKC inputted the triangle offense with Kanter, Durant, and Westbrook, they would win the title next season.

Can kanter pass when they double team him on the post? idk if triangle work just cuz of him lol
 
You've all been diddled by the Millers. Kanter would have looked just as good here and management knew it. They purposefully didnt surround and use Kanter correctly because they are cheap and tried to hold his value down. Being dirty like that blew up in there faces and now they look dumb to everyone not a Jazz fan. He was in the right demanding a trade for the way Utah abused him. Now he will shine and become a max player this summer. Higher max than Hayward.

I'm not getting nicked by this used car sales pitch. He's also a much better pick and roll defender than you claim. He was last in the league here because they kept switching his coverage to confuse him, and playing him with Burke instead of Dante. He only played 150 minutes with Dante and he looked damn good on defense during that time.

This. The triangle is pretty damn cerebral and requires the big to know the court spacing. It took Shaq a few seasons to learn it. I remember when the Jazz would beat up on the Lakers in the playoffs, as soon as Shaq put his head down, you could send the double, because the ball wasn't coming out again. Once Shaq learned to pass out of the double, the Lakers won championships. I just haven't seen anything out of Kanter to suggest that he can 1. Break a solid double team and 2. Pass out of a double team to an open man more than 3 feet away. All of that is BEFORE we get to the way he plays defense. . .

i don't feel like enough attention is being given here to reggie miller, who is the worst national tv announcer there is, by like a massive margin, and has never ever shown any evidence that he knows what he's talking about about anything basketball related.

I think he's a close second to his sister who is woefully bad at color commentary and beyond obnoxious.

I'm pretty sure she's been demoted to sideline reporter though.

It's too bad that the NBA isn't staffed by Mountain West refs:

Cause in the NBA, they won't call the "attempt to deceive penalty." Other teams are going to run picks and fakes to get the matchup they want, which generally involves isoing somebody on Enes Kanter.

Like most Utahans you are a bit of a mug. Used car salesmen rely on mugs showing up. They have a history on not spending for a Stockton and Malone championship, let Korver walk and traded Brewer to save $ which ruined a shot at a championship and soured Deron and led to his trade, and now Greg Miller says they will never pay luxury tax again. I dont know how many more times this cycle needed to be repeated before Utah wakes up.


@framer I was talking about the Jazz switching coverage not the other team. It's been documented.
