Which Tandem Do You Prefer?

Not to mention his performance in the 2011 Nike game.

Favors / Kanter

I've seen Rivers play A LOT. A whole lot. Terrific scorer. Kobe-style w/o being Kobe. Meaning, no one tells this kid to share the ball ... and he doesn't. Scores a lot, but shoots even more.

Have you jokes learned nothing these playoffs?

You cannot teach size.

And you cannot have too much of it.

Keep Kanter. Hope Memo can give us something... Anything! Roll with Al, Favors, and maybe Millsap. Build the #1 frontline in the NBA. find guards sometime. But get big, tall, and strong!

Boston went into decline when they lost their bigs.
Memphis kicked *** because of them. Without Zach and Gasol, they're a bottom 5 team. Arthur also gave them very quality minutes. His length and quickness were huge.
Tyson Chandler and Haywood have transformed the mavs
And Udonis Haslem saved the Heat.
Lakers were swept because one of their bigs was going through rough times with their GF and played like Boozer.

Draft big folks. We can find guards anywhere and at anytime. You cannot find good bigs typically outside of the top 5 in the draft. And they typically demand a ton of money.

Kanter & Favors.

It's not even close.

Yea he has always been the go to guy. It will be interesting to see how he does at Duke. He has shown great playmaking skills so now that he has lots of talent around him he will need to learn to share the ball more. Most high school kids coming in shoot way too much because they are that good, then they adjust in college. Hopefully this is the case with him.

True, though I take that into account. With Rivers I've seen a kid unwilling to be coached. Whining, griping, what else can I say ??
Hope somebody gets through cuz the kids got ALL the talent.

Kanter and Favors have the potential to get all the rebounds if they develop well.

I feel if he didn't want to be coached he wouldn't have gone to Duke. You know Coach K isn't gonna put up with that stuff.

With that said, he does have some attitude issues that need to be worked out. If anybody can do it, it's Coach K.

It might just boil down to immaturity at this point in his life. I guess we will find out. I know that Coach K won't put up with shenanigans. He is going to mature really fast or face the consequences.
