How much has Kanter even played?

5-6 minutes -- came out as Turkey was starting to get torched defensively.

I know it's been said before, but it's incredible how this team's strategy appears to be to take off-balance contested 3-pointers.

7 minutes. He was 2-4 (one miss was a tip that he grabbed and put in...so 2 of his 3 rebounds) fg, 0-2 ft for 4 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 turnover (on a bull **** traveling call). His one actual miss, he got a nice pass and went up for the dunk, but then the ball came loose or something...I would've liked to see a replay, as I was unsure why that would have happened. A block? Foul? I don't know.

meh. He's committing too much to the guards defending PnR's this game. One time he stuck with the guard in the post, and the dude found Kanter's man open down low, forcing Hedo (?) to hack him hard. After Savas came in, Kanter had to guard a much more mobile 4, and was shaken one time, leading to a pretty wide open J (which was fortunately missed). He seems a bit tired or something, not sure.

1-5 from the line the last 2 games. Strange...maybe he's just frustrated.

it was clear actually, he just jumped as he is gonna dunk two handed hammer, but he changed his mind when he is on air and wanted to lay up and then he messed it up

**** it. he's 19.
 
Turkey's very lucky to be down by only 8. They should try riding Preldzic and Kanter in the second half. They're the only players who've shown an ability to put pressure on the defense for Turkey this tournament.

They won't, of course, but they should.
