Knew he was gonna be a good player for us and he came through.. now if only we can play him a bit more than 14 mpg..

From David Thorpe:

Best rebounder: Enes Kanter, Jazz
Hands of iron. That's what I think of when I see him play. Not as in everything bounces off of them, but rather, once he gets his mitts on the ball, he owns it. But rebounding is more than having soft but strong hands; it also requires good feet for good positioning. And Kanter is terrific at taking up space next to the rim every chance he gets, on both ends of the court. He is already a rebounding force in this league with the potential to be a very good post player overall.

Makes me smile .. and I assure we've only seen the tip of the iceberg .. His offense is MUCH better than we've sniffed.
 
This guy is a wall. I remember Lowry drove up against him, Kanter stood ground for a charge. Lowry hit him, ball slipped out of bounds from his hands, and Kanter barely moved.

That's why he's the rebounder he is. He's tough to outbox out

I bet. I can see him winning most improved player in the near future (once we trade Jefferson so he can actually see the floor).
 
He's the outboxing outest there ever was. I'm hoping he wins a few more prestigious awards over the years but this is a start eh? It's good to be recognized.
 
He is a goddamn manchild. So glad that we were graced to have him on this team.
 
Impressing us whist being only 19, and not playing competitive ball for 2 years prior to this one...."This is only the beginning"
 
So i am a little conflicted right now. In one thread I get the feeling that we should get rids of Kanter and anything else that we need to in order to get Rondo. Now I read this thread and everyone can't wait to see this guys future.

Totally convinced this is a TRUE statement. My only concern is the Jazz are trying to turn him into the prototypical Jazz center. He has been consistently left open near the
free throw line ( not a surprise for large bodied rookie centers, they are left open until they prove they can stick it from there) and just as consistently he passes the shot, when
i know he can shoot well from there. Why? It's apparent he has been told not to shoot it from there and being an obedient young man, does so. Is this a threat to the
Jazz way of life if their center takes 2-3 jump shoots from 15 feet? Apparently so. They don't want another Memo. But i am not saying he should be another Memo. Just take the
easy jumpers when presented with the opportunity.
