Let me put it this way - it's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.
Agree with article. Y'all make it sound like this guy was just outright hating on Kanter and saying he was going to suck. He was just stating that Enes isn't going to be an impact player his first year, and that if he would have stayed in Europe, he would be much further along in his development (I agree with all of this). Is he a little bitter that Kanter left for college when it was known there was a high chance he wouldn't be eligible? Probably, but I don't think that he has an agenda to make him fail.
I agree with every sentence.
Am I the only one that thinks Kanter reminds him of Matt Harpring. I swear when I watch Kanter post up on the low block with that low center of gravity and pushing his man with his body it reminds me of Matt. I know they play a different game, but Kanter posts old school. He takes his great big butt and moves the guy guarding him back three feet. Personally I love passing to bigs who know how to make themselves big. The Kevin Love comparisons are also good.
Also Kanter ("IstanBull" or "Bull" for short) is a rebounding stud. Because he is not a high flyer he is constantly moving and getting position. THIS SKILL WILL TRANSLATE TO THE NBA. What a stud rebounder.
Defensively I saw Kanter make some rookie mistakes. He allowed himself to get picked a couple of time and a couple of times when he was playing help D he got caught in no-mans land. However, I also noticed that they put Kanter on New Zealand's best big. Kanter can play in space and moves his feet real well. I'm impressed.

He sounds like those fans here that were calling him a bust after two meaningless warm up games....

From reading many of your posts (you, GVC and Archie primarily, all of whom I trust on this), the guard play wasn't much better. Add in the fact that it's been Kanter's first true live game action in a couple years and it makes his performances/stats even more impressive.
The kid will be productive in the NBA and play for a long time. The question is how productive. With him, Favors, Hayward and Burks on our team, the sky's the limit. My biggest question at this point is who, if any, will evolve into a true scoring threat and possible stud in that regard. All, in their own way, have that potential in my opinion.
