Locke's Draft Scouting Videos

My thoughts exactly.

With due respect, that's kind of how I feel with regards to the hype on Kanter. There's a whole clutch of Kanter fanatics here basing their love for him on . . . what? A Nike Hoops game? Some high school games? Let's face it, there's just not a lot to go on about him. I'm not on or off the Kanter bandwagon; if he's really BPA, then I'd be thrilled to get him. BUT his lack of a history makes me very nervous. While I'm not adverse to risk as a general rule, in this case, I'm adverse to taking too much risk. With the #3 pick, we damned well better have a pretty good idea what we're getting, and I'm not sure a mystery man with huge potential upside fits the bill.

I may yet be convinced, but so far, and despite all the love for Kanter I've read here, and from what I've read elsewhere, I'm not.
 

Assuming that's the one where he says 'he's a man out there, this isn't the competition he'll face in the NBA (he's the same age as them, and they are the best talent in the world at their age, but Biyombo can't improve because...).'

'He might be 22 or 23 (according to you? what are you basing that on?)'

'But he's 6' 9", so something something he's not a C or tall enough or just a forward (because wingspan, standing reach, strength, and athleticism don't enter into the equation at all. The best players do everything with the top of their head)'
