What can't he do?

- Jefferson type inside move: Tick
- Athletic dunks: Tick
- Off the dribble: Tick
- Spin move: Tick
- Passing: Tick
- Block shot: Tick
- Mid range shot: Tick
- 3pt range: Tick

Okay, okay, before you get started - it is a blimmin' high school game, but the skills are there and from the Combine he does have the size.

Personally, I don't think he'll be there at 3 - I do think Wolves will keep the pick and snag him at #3 as they're loaded at the wing. But that's fine we'll just take DWill2.

Nice vid. Of the practices, pick-up games I saw him play, he played more center than he did in this video, so nice to see the more complete game. I saw mostly anchoring down, using his body to create space, blocking out, and really owning the paint.

I actually don't care that it's film from a High School game. Just a few years ago (when High Schooler's could still enter the draft), we were all juding draft prospects by their HS tapes. I like what I see on highlight film.

When a big guy ends up being a bust, there's usually a glaring weakness or two in his game that ends up being overlooked because scouts/GMs think they can get them to overcome it.

Granted, the tape I've seen on Kanter is limited but I'm still trying to see what this guys "glaring" weakness would be. His outside jumper is impressive for a big man, great touch as he gets closer to the rim, he seems to move extremely well, seems more than comfortable in the post, looks like he knows how to use his size down low, IMO shows the ability to be really good as a passer, good hands, etc.

The more I see on him, the more I feel he's a certain no-brainer at #3 (if he even lasts that long).

My money is on Minnesota snatching him up at 2.
 
I love this guy's game. I am going to be very disappointed if the Jazz do not draft him if he is available.
 
I agree with PKM, Kanter uses his body to create space and makes the game easier. I am most impressed with his fluid movement and shot.

It would be VERY hard to pass on him at 3....


Jazzman calls it glarring weakness, I like to call it fatal flaw--and I don't see one in Kanter.
 
I've posted this one a couple times already. Anyway, the 42 second to 1:00 mark is where I see the most potential in him. He's got size and a hell of a stroke and solid athleticism but those quick spin moves for a guy of that size, with the touch to finish, is very impressive.
