Kanter watch

what did we get for Kanter again.oh right nothing. Also no Ibaka tonight. McGary is who we should have got for the Kanter trade, instead we got Mc Donalds happy meal. Ps. thunder won by 20
 
Kanter is the only OKC thunder center in its (short) history to score a 20-10 game. He already has three of them. However, he has yet to really put up good stats against a real contender. Any game the thunder won it was hard to say "ya, without Kanter they wouldn't have won." The clippers test was a real barometer and he disappointed in that.
 
He looks great on the offensive end. Hard to say how he'll be getting the same number of touches with durrant back. I think OKC may be better with him, but time will tell. I think he'll get a big offer in the off season. Utah should have moved him earlier.

and for the timberwolves....Gourgi Dieng had 14 & 21. Justin Hamilton had 10 & 17. Well above their season averages.

Kanter's opp fg percentage in Okc stands around % 51 which is much better than when he was in Utah. Around % 57. He isn't still a defensive center but he hasn't been a liability either. He is also surprisingly better than Noah. What happened to Noah anyway?

We got team chemistry and future assets. 9-2 since he was traded.
.
I hope you are enjoying his play right now. Because the odds of it continuing into the post season is very unlikely.
 
I see confidence in him. Takes the ball and dribbles coast to coast and scores. He is coming back first time since getting drafted. I hope he keeps getting more confident and smart.
 
Enes Kanter starting with Adams and they are hold Chicago to 15 points in the first half... Kanter with 10 boards, 6 of them offensive.... They are struggling offensively, though.
 
kanter flourshin on a great team, despite them missin the reignin MVP.
coulda flourshed here.

thx alot jazz mgmt. just anotha effect of the perpetual rebuild. develop good players, farm em up real nice, then ship em off to bloom on teams tryin to win a title. and get back nothin in return or pennies on the dollar.
 
He had a sweet steal + behind the back dribble + no look pass. If Kanter continues his natural progression at offensive including passing and scoring and rebounds he will be a center version of David Lee (who keep in mind isn't even in the rotation for GSW but did put all star numbers at one point). If Kanter improves his defense he can be a top 10 center in the league. (Keep in mind Gobert is already top 5 center and has #1 potential).
 
Kanter was playing power forward today with Adams at center until Adams fouled out. Those 2 together would be a helluva pair to match up against Favors and Gobert later this month.

In an ideal world, we pay Kanter $16M, resign Favors for $18M and Gobert for $20M. We find a way to start 6 players so all three of those guys are happy. Or maybe Gobert can be a starting SF? Throw in $20M for Hayward. And tell the Millers to either pay the luxury tax or sell the team to a Chinese billionaire.

You are hilarious, JI. Please tell me how Kanter, Favors and Gobert could have all flourished here? Oh yes, you also have criticized the FO for not re-signing Millsap. So Utah should still have all 4 of those players and given each 30 mins+ to keep them happy?! Not sure how that works, but ummm kay.
