Summer League: Jazz vs. Pacers Thursday 1 pm MST

[mellow]

This is my problem with drafting bigmen projects, especially with early lottery picks. Jazz are going to invest a roster spot and 3-5 million a year for 4 years to Kanter just to teach him how to play basketball and speak english.

Then at the 4 year mark when he is RFA the minimum contract the jazz can offer him is something like 8 million even though he may not be worth it. Or if he shows any promise at all he'll get a Roy Hibbert, Brook Lopez max contract. Can anyone imagine paying Favors and Kanter Max contracts? Ugh. Better to draft experinced bigs with lower 'ceiling' later in the draft and gamble early picks on pgs & wings that can play sooner.

Indiana is smart, so is Boston.

Yes, continue ranting and raving about a summer league game. Please continue. It's absolutely great seeing a poster frothing at the mouth.

2 more points and 1 less rebound. We should trade Kanter right this second.

And two less turnovers. Kanter's got no iq and the heaviest ****ing feet I ever saw.

No. Keep directing it toward the summer league, like the previous post. Get all worked up about it. I mean continue to get all worked up.

I really like Burks but does he ever get to the rim? He's not strong enough in his drive and always gets "pushed" wide, and as he attempts to elevate, has to lay it, sometimes at an awkward angle, off the backboard, often from an awkward body motion. Don't get me wrong. I really like the kid. But I wish he had gone crazy in the weight room and gotten stronger this summer.

He will always be a weaker player. He has to use his speed to get to the rim and his craftiness to finish with contact. He isn't going to go Lebron to the rim anytime soon, just like Kanter wont be going Kemp with dunks.

That bank shot was pretty

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

Kanter with the ugly fail on the baby hook.

Plumlee drilling the 18 footer with confidence.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Kanter just pwnd Plumlee twice.

 

[utahjazz107]

Kanter had a nice finish under the basket

It works for him, so who cares?

Wes is this watching the game.

And then he went to the computer.

It's funny how you're now a relative Kanter supporter in compared to the bipolardness that is this board.

Ahearn is looking good today.
