The thing I like about Kanter is that he plays in the paint right under the hoop on both ends. Last year, the Jazz didn't have anyone who wanted to stay in the lane. He's got the size to be a real anchor and enough skill to have an impact on the game. I think his offensive game could also evolve similar to Demarcus Cousins', who isn't explosive either, but apparently DC has a few inches more reach. Kanter won't jump over people, but he should be able to develop a few more moves to utilize his wide-body and score.
I like Burks a lot and think he has more upside than people may give him credit for. It depends on his BB IQ and how he works in the system. He's got physical tools, but needs to be mentally tough to be an impact player. The question is how hard he wants to work. He should be able to score, and defensively he might have Doug Christie/Eddie Jones potential.
