Favors or Kanter?

I'm still laughing at the move he did last game where he got the ball off a screen to a wide open lane and decided to pull up for an awkward 10 footer.
.

Or how about sky hook he bricked vs Okur? Or turnaround jumper some no name scrub from Clippers blocked before Kanter even released the ball. Kid needs to improve speed of his release or he will get blocked 90% of the time.

Ok, you two, get a room.
 
If you focus only on one player's strengths and only on another player's weaknesses, you end up reaching conclusions like AKMVP has. ****ing retarded.

Kanter's starting to release the ball faster after creating space for himself. Even with his early struggles, he's getting to the line frequently enough to have a TS% of .525, good for third on the team among regulars (after Millsap and Favors). He rebounds the ball well, and doesn't get backed down by anyone. It was really fun watching Favors and Kanter defend Pau and Bynum.
 
Remember Kanter hadn't played real basketball in over a year. What he is doing considering that is very impressive.
 
Kanter has much better hands and footwork right now as well. As you've pointed out many times, he needs to use the glass more (at all) and be less hesitant once he's created space, but at least he has the ability to create space, and thus good shots, unlike Favors.

Favors really needs to find something to go to on the block. It's painful watching him with the ball in his hands.

Favors needs to learn he is not superman and he cant dunk over 5 people. I understand he is young and enthusiastic to play, but sometimes he needs to pass, it is painful to watch him having no pass vision

Retarded to point to obvious flaws in ones game?

I don't entirely agree. Yes, he needs to look to pass more frequently. He seemed to have decent vision last season, so maybe he's just frustrated with his role/offensive production. He needs to let the game come to him, and pick his spots better. It's tough for a young player who doesn't get regular touches to stay disciplined.

However, I'd rather see him try to dunk over guys than shoot fade-aways. He's long, strong and fairly explosive, and he should be using his superior tools to his advantage.

Perhaps you missed the question posed by the OP. It's hard to make a comparison between two players when all you consider is one player's weaknesses/mistakes. Not that you're smart enough to understand any of this.

So know you are IQ expert? lol. Question was whom you would chose given the chance, so I gave honest answer and pointed why. I do not need to go into wide discussion why Favors is better prospect then Kanter IMHO, big flaws in Kanters game is enough for me to make that choice. Favors hice nice jumper so his free throw % can be improved, it is not fundamentals or technique like in Shaq's or B.Wallace case - just needs better focus and attention to details. Kanter on the other hand is not going to get any more explossive or faster. Thats just the way I see it. You may not like it but pleeeeeeaaaaaaassssseee..... stop about inteligence, ROFL.

No, not really. Unless you think missing a couple jumpers through 184 NBA minutes is reason enough to write a young big man off, in which case I stand by assessment of your intelligence.

Dude who is writing him off? Question was whom to chose from those two, I chose Favors, does not mean Kanter won't be decent NBA player in the future.
So looking back at your post it looks like you wrote Favors off for some easily correctable things didn't you?
