Even so, his defensive presence make him a no-brainer start when he returns from injury. Scoring won't be an issue for their starting lineup, but they will need it from the bench, and that's where Kanter comes in.

That makes sense. If we bring in Matthews or someone like that in FA it will be a nice win win. He seems like he was having fun out there.

Passing to the low post as a system wouldn't fit OKC's pace.

Going from Kendrick Perkins to Enes Kanter is like going from a submarine with screen doors to a fully functional battleship. #okcthunder

OKC has the second lowest assist ratio in the NBA, well below Utah's.
He was starter but he was not an undisputed starter.
He has been treated like a child, punishment at every mistake.

I've checked the table of passing rates of teams a few games into the season and Utah was leading the league whereas OKC ranked bottom or 3rd from the bottom. That's their game. Take the ball up the court and attack the rim. Heh.
Despite the blind hate spewed at Kanter for requesting a trade he very good and getting better. Nobody will ever convince me this was a good trade or that we got fair value. It was pennies on the dollar. We should have got more.
But Kanter is gone and I fully support the Jazz going forward. The Portland game was fun to watch.

Well with Gobert on the roster, how can you blame Snyder? And also, there's a great chance Steven Adams wlll start over Kanter when he returns.
If we're talking about Snyder still, I don't have any problem with him holding players accountable. If we're talking about Corbin, I have no argument.
Gordon and Burke acting like stars?
I think Enes suffered the competition with who wanted to be the new face of the Jazz franchise.
Anyway the Jazz made obvious mistakes with his development.

I agree. There was a slip of mind of who would be the face when the players like Big Al and Sap were leaving. Gordon was the relentless nominee for that apparently whereas Enes was the naive team guy who smiled all the time. He doesn't have the character of maturity to be one yet though.
I really hope you're not trying to imply that Kanter should've been the face of the franchise instead of Hayward.

200+ game thread of Kanter on another team. It's like you keep the track of your raised child even though he rejected you. It'll be over in a few days.
I hope you are not trying to put gas on the fire just to wrangle.
Anyway I never thought it.

If last year anyone would call Hayward a franchise player, he would be a victim of genocide right here...

That´s one thing Enes always wanted for years... National Attention...
