the ever-changing feelings about Enes Kanter

He is still "excited to take threes". I began to wonder if that would be efficient for the Jazz.

His recent mid range struggles are an abnormality, not the norm. He did receive a very nasty bruise on the bicep of his shooting arm, which could be the reason for the struggling jumper. That and the season wearing him down because he couldn't properly condition his body last off-season.

Even if Kanter shoots 30% from 3, it will be efficient for the Jazz. A big shooting a 3 at a ****ty percentage is far more efficient than a guard hitting 3's at a decent percentage because of the big body a big draws out to the perimeter. I don't advocate him doing it every posession, but if he can prove to the league that he can hit them 35% of the time, that's enough that they'll come guard him because it's like him shooting close to 50% on 2's.
 
I found a random stat that I don't know what it means....

Kanter has a team worse - 437 on the season. Meaning while he was on the floor the jazz have been out scored by 437 points.

In a season when the team sucks does a stat like that have any meaning?

No meaning.

He has played in a plethora of rotations. Including JLiii, Thomas, Tinsley, etc.

He's had a new role, young, lack of experience, ****ty coach and rotations, been jerked around, etc. Not sure you can place much meaning on stats this season.

If Kanter has a stat like that by the end of next year, then yes I will probably be worried.
 
I don't know how so many people can blame Kanter's mishaps on the coaching staff. I love the guy too, but damn! Blind lead the blind I guess.

Kanter's issues are just inexperience, and his low BB IQ at his age. As I have stated before. I think his "benchings" as some of you like to call it, were a great thing. Cause he is playing better now then he was at the beginning of the year. He I believe, is starting to realize he can't half *** on one side of the ball. Or bull his way through every play. And I am seeing the team play better with him. And that excites me for next year.
 
The idea that a bruise on an arm is going to negatively affect somebody's shooting is one of the more hilarious ideas that has posted here.

Just stupid.

If that bruise is painful or limits mobility then no it is not stupid. If this is in regartds to Kanter's bruise than I'd say it was a fairly large on ebut it didn't seem to hinder him so I'd discard it as a reason.

Favors has had the same challenges and you want to run him out of town. Just sayin. You are a Kanter apologist, nothing wrong with that other than your opinions are completely biased.

It's a freaking bruise on his bicep. I don't know if you've ever shot a basketball, but your bicep being sore doesn't do much to make your shooting worse.

I definitely do not want to run Favors out of town. I want them to play together.

I don't make excuses for Favors because he doesn't need them. He is a year older, has played a lot more basketball, has had a more consistent role in Jazz rotations, speaks english natively, and hasn't had any serious injuries depriving him of an off-season of training.

I love Favors, but I expect more from him at this point of his career. I really want to see the Kanter and Favors duo be successful.

I will be a lot less forgiving of Kanter by yhe end of next year.

Really? This is laughable. One of the very first muscles engaged in shooting is your bicep. How else does one go about elevating the ball before squaring their shoulders? GTFO!

I already said I'd discard his bruise as an excuse, easy Tonto.

Just saying that if a bruise is severe enough or somewhere that does matter than it could affect a persons shot. Say a deep bone bruise or a bruising of his shoulder.

When you consider that he sustained the bruise in the LAC game, and since then his mid range jumper has struggled, there is correlation.
 
The video provided exactly supports Stoked and Sexual Favors views as on 0:45 it states "Obviously there is a ton of other muscles that work even the muscles that keep your entire arm above your head".

Of course there are other muscles in play. He went over the major muscles at work.
