It's worth remembering that the game was way too fast for Hayward for the first 3 months of last season.

True, and it takes even longer for Bigs to get in the flow, and catch up to the speed.

Yup, and Hayward was 20 coming in compared to Kanter at 19

This rivals McGibblets Hayward-photoshopping wizardry, in terms of best Jazzfanz post in a while.

Would rep multiple times if possible.

I actually think this is the opposite. But regardless, my opinion of Kanter isn't going to change just because we might not be able to throw him in the deep end of the pool right away. I saw glimpses when he got the ball down low. That's when the game slows down for him. When he can just attack. The rest of the time, you can tell he's never seen basketball played at this speed.

Should have made a face for Sepanol crying in Turkey.

Just thought of the same thing, but then I realized that theres half a "FUUUUUUU" face in the area closest to Turkey, so it somewhat suffices.

I have heard from NBA coaches that it is the case. I personally do not know, and I don't have a link to back it up.
It might be more exact if I say I have heard a/some NBA coaches say it takes longer for NBA bigs to develop, than wings or PG's.
I could be wrong, no really, it happens.

For all the people wondering about Howard...

Corbin said earlier today that Howard had not passed a physical yet (next week, I think Monday or Tuesday) so he would not be allowed to play in the scrimmage.

Yep, he has the same "Oh god I have the ball what do I do?!?" look at times. Hopefully it really is just a product of his lack of PT in the past two years and not a sign that his natural bball IQ just isn't that high.

I guarantee it's the former, but I'm also not saying that he'll necessary be a stud. He's missed some crucial time in his development. Which is why he simply has to get on the court and play because practice cannot replace the game (although it is totally necessary IN ADDITION to playing the game).

I've got no science, either. It's just my general observation that the game is more simplified for bigs than wings as rookies. Last year, as one example, guys like Favors, Monroe, Cousins, Davis, and Patterson all produced. Of the wings, guys like Turner, Hayward, Aminu, George, Henry, and Johnson all had their struggles.
