What the ****? The term "black hole" has nothing to do with AL's race, it's the fact that once something goes into a black hole, it isn't coming back.

The "Great White Hole" just sounds like some porn stars bleached *******.

Once something goes in there, it isn't coming back.

I like this. A slow, lumbering white dude with no vertical who at his peak was still a great player is the best person to teach Enes, who right now is simply a slow, lumbering white dude with no vertical.

My goodness. Is no one here old enough to remember Kiki Vandeweghe's game? He was a sweet shooting SF that couldn't rebound or defend, but had a fairly good first step offensively, was certainly not slow or lumbering, could get to and finish at the rim occasionally, and was known as rather soft. Great college player. Played with Mike Sanders (when Sanders was a 6'6" center) at UCLA. He had a run with both Denver and Portland of 7 years over 20 ppg in the NBA. Think what people expected out of Adam Morrison, except a better athlete.

If he's teaching Kanter anything related to his own strengths, I hope it's how to develop a go-to offensive move.
 
kiki wasn't some slow, plodding, unathletic monster. the guy could move with the basketball and he had range on his shot. he is closer to memo than ostertag.
 
Although Kanter wasn't too impressive in Summer League he's winning me over, big time. Anybody with that kind of size who puts in so much work and has such a high level of desire is destined to become a force in the NBA.
 
This is what I think Kanter needs to do:

1. Develop that counter hook-shot-to-the-middle-of-the-paint move.

2. Work on his handle - I don't know the stats but he seemed to turn it over in the paint to be effective.

If he can do those 2 things coming out of this Summer then I'd be stoked.
