Nope. Aggression. Don't have to be an athletic freak to be aggressive. Don't see much aggression from lantern. If you get the ball 2 feet from the rim and you are nearly 7 feet tall it is a mortal sin not to at least attempt the dunk, especially with others around you.

It just blows me away at how Kanter doesn't even try to jump on these plays. I will admit that he isn't the worlds best athlete, but he's still ok, and he only needs to jump a little over a foot to dunk the ball. Instead, he shoots a set shot at point blank with his feet stuck to the ground like his shoes are made of honey. Usual result, spiked ball to his head. Kanter is nominated for the most blocked shots by a big man over 6'10", that is, his own shots. Locke was talking about it.

He still thinks he is indispensable. I hope that last Lakers game gave him a hint.
When you barely clear the rim on most of your dunks, maybe trying to do that from a dead stop against the opposing team's primary defensive big at the highest levels of competition in the world is a little more difficult than some of you seem to suggest.
Or maybe Kanter's just a giant ***** all of a sudden. Yeah. That's probably it.

Enes doesn't have the explosiveness to score in a crowd from a standing position. I'm not sure if the coaches are telling him to put it up when he's surrounded under the basket or if he just loses his head, but I think passing it out is usually a better play. This is his most frustrating flaw on offense. There's no point taking low value shots with loads of time left on the shot clock.

Malone had several highly productive seasons under-the-rim. Good thing he's Enes' coach.

Note on the highlights: Beeno is the first to stand and cheer. At least he's got that going for him.
Maybe he's trying to mold his skill set into something he can excel at? Like that hard drive pivot followed by a soft shot (dunk it dunk it booggah buggah)? Kanter will have to be Kanter, not some prototype that NAOS' wannabe hates us ever suggesting.
BTW, I tried to rep LOGGrade again but this damn 5 per is garbage.
Well, its going to be very interesting to see if Ty still has his head (and Ol' Jer's) up his *** and benches Gobert for most of the season. Gobert should be the first big off the bench and look to get 20 minutes every night. He looks like he can handle it. Of course there will be terrible games but he will learn. Play him Ty.

Does anybody else look at Ian Clarke and see a bit of Tyson Chandler? Does this inquiry deserve its own thread?
Corbin's coaching style is not the same as Slaon's. If you want him to be the badass coach pissing off every single player by riding rookie mistakes then you'll have to take a trip in that old time machine of yours. "Earn it" baptism by fire doesn't seem to be en vogue these days, although I wouldn't mind a bit of old fashioned challenge given to these thin skinned young men. It did D-Will a world of good (and bad).
And I would rather have a head coach decide on player rotation based on ability and need to develop on the court, rather than some stern old disciplinarian trying to cram everyone into some Ozzie and Harriet 1950's pseudo-reality.
Nothing wrong with playing a guy who shows he is ready and Gobert seems to be fairly mature for 21. He looks like he can play and be productive. Sure, he is is young and new to the NBA. There will be games where he has more fouls than points+blocks, but the more minutes he gets this year the sooner he will be ready to be a consistent performer.
Sloan's handling of D-Will was stupid and injurious. D-Will was the best PG from the start of that year and it wasn't even close. Milt Palacio anyone????????? I don't think D-Will ever got over it.
