Something specific to watch for with Kanter

[kwb]

I did enjoy watching McRoberts try to take on Kaner. Kaner didn't back down and McRoberts looked like an idiot after Kaner blocked his shot.

Don't you mean McRobers?

No. I meant McRoberts. Boler calls him Kaner. So do I. Buckle up PKM.

Knew what you meant. And I drive with no seat belt .. AND my arm out the window, outstretched.

To me he needs to just shake off the jitters, and not be afraid of the big boys under the basket. That first possession where he faked out Gasol under the rim, if he had just gone up strong and dunked that bitch he would have drawn a foul too. As soon as he does this (it took Hayward about half the season last year) then it looks to me he will have a real shot to grow as a player into something potentially dominant.

IS he capable of dunking that bitch in traffic though?

I liked what I saw. Especially considering how truly awful Memo has played so far.

Damnit, site keeps eating my post when I hit reply. Try this one more time.

I haven't seen it. I've seen him make some truly awesome dunks when just goofing around (he can get up), but anytime I've seen him in a game, he looks like he has an 8" vertical. No explanation.

As much as his athletic ability, size, and motor have been hyped I sure as **** hope so.

If not, wow what a waste of size.

Kanter's play was just fine for a rookie (who has had limited playing time in the last 2 years). The guy beat D. Nowitzki's scoring record against the best of his peers; his offensive game will be just fine when he gets some confidence and experience. His defense against Gasol was fine. It wasn't spectacular, but it was fine. Blocks can be an indication of good d but don't guarantee it. Gasol schooled him a few times, true, but he held his ground most of the time. The jazz lost mainly because of their atrocious shooting. They missed wide-open shot after shot. As Locke points out they were 17/36 at the rim last night (1 foot away)!

Yes, but dunking is a much higher % shot. It also gives you more chances for and 1's.
