No, he is the Oden in the analogy.
Greg Miller: “Injuries killed us last year, we need to be more durable” – meaning no Kanter?

It helps when the player cries out "I just ruptured my achilles!"
The doctors confer: "I think he might've ruptured his achilles."

No, he's Durant and Oden.
Ultimately it would be on the physical examination.
All I can say is that it is well documented that Kanter had a back injury during the Hoop Summit.
I'm not a doctor, and so this would ultimately be down to the doctors examining him AND the Jazz's assessment of risk.
Not really clear but there is a history. From NBAdraft.net:
https://www.nbadraft.net/players/enes-kanter
I think Hottick is a Knight fan and he is trying to create a story about supposed injuries issues with Kanter. Are you Knight's agent? The story about Kanter's knees was simply a rumor. As far as the back, there has been no known documentation of any history of back troubles. It was mentioned in one game which Kanter scored 34 points and 13 rebounds so it seems like a small issue.
Unless you have documented medical evidence of a potential or past injury history, all players are potentially injury prone. I have little concern about Kanter's healthy. What concerns me more is can he play defense?

You have got to be kidding me.
Please check my previous posts before making this claim.
I am a Kanter fan through and through, and if his knee/back problems all checked out - I think Kanter is a clear BPA in this draft.
No question what so ever.
As the the "medical evidence" - no I don't have it. I doubt anyone does. If I can get my hands on it I'd probably be in the thick of draft discussions with general managers and agents now, not roaming around this forum.
All I'm saying is - "history of physical issues has now thrown a new light on the Knight vs Kanter debate".
Injuries didn't kill us, suckiness did... unless you call D-Will's attitude an injury.

Do you have any evidence that he's missed significant time due to injury like the Jazz players with whom you've compared him? 'Cause right now it doesn't appear so.
Yeah, would you risk drafting a guy with no significant injury history and guy with no physical problems? Pretty big risk.
He had Tendinitis in one of his knees 3 years ago.
Huge red flag. Forget the physicals. Forget that it was a sore knee three years ago and he's been doing nothing if not getting in the best shape he will ever be in. Huge red flag.
NBAdarft.net is hackville.

Hey I sincerely hope you're right and I'm wrong. I'm one of the staunchest supporter of Kanter and bar any injury concern, would love for him to join us next year. I really think he will complement Favors.
Having said that, Miller's comment did give me pause.
Again, I hope I'm wrong.
im not sure but as far as i know it wasnt a back injury in nike hoop summit, he was flu or smthng like that and he got a few injections to be able to play in the game.
he doesnt have that much disastorous injury past. Just there are some concerns about his knee but nothing is for sure, its just a concern. I dont think it will be as bad as Oden, or he will even miss 1 yr like Griffin. As long as he is fine in the phsycal tests, there will be no problem for any team to pick him.

Great point. And as we all know the Jazz are a risk averse franchise (minus the DWill trade). I think they're going to play it safe and forfeit their picks. They might not get anyone, but sometimes the risk is just too great.
What numbers did Kanter put up in that game again?
That's true. And again I hope he checks out.
