Preseason Game #2: OKC at UTAH

I see Favors box-score sucks, but did play good defense?

Also, after watching Big Al and Kanter dunk on Aldrich, let's take a moment to laugh at all who wanted to draft Cole Aldrich over Hayward.

Favors is already a 60%+ free throw shooter. That's good enough to not be a liability down the stretch in close games.

He's actually better than that - he improved during the course of last season and shot 70% from the stripe over the last month. Until then, he was getting hacked a lot.

I think Favors is a 16/10 guy with 36 minutes. I think Kanter is a 14/12 guy with the same minutes.

The way I see it now is that Kanter is the better offensive player and rebounder. The only thing Favors does better is block shots. I think Kanter can be a go to guy eventually on offense if he keeps his conditioning and gains more experience. The biggest issue I have with Kanter now is turnovers. He needs to learn watch the double teams and learn when to pass out and when to take it quickly to the basket. Favors hasn't really shown that he has developed any go to move and seems as though he is still playing passively. I know its just two pre-season games but Kanter seems like he has way more potential offensively than does Favor.

I'm also taking a moment to laugh at those people who wanted to draft Valanciunas, Knight and even Biyombo over Kanter. Guess who it was? Btw, Aldrich had quite a good game yesterday...

We are getting way ahead of ourselves. Valaciunas hasn't played a NBA game yet. Kanter weight loss is letting his talent show, but potential isn't production. And the preseason isn't productions.

Not disagreeing, but Kanter has looked better than Val in preseason. Val's going to have to get A LOT stronger.

I wanted Kawhi Leonard.

It would have been hard to draft kawhi leonard since he didn't come out the same year as hayward, henry, babbit, aldrich, etc etc.

Leonard came into the nba the same year as burks and kanter..... last year.
 
Oop sorry qman, i now see you were talking about last years draft.
The discussion for last years draft is who we should have taken at #3. If you wanted leonard at 3 then you were about the only person in the world to think he should go that high.
Kanter was and still is the right pick.
 
No way Qman wanted Leonard at 3, right? I thought he was saying he wished we could have taken him with the 2nd pick.
