Enes Kanter even bigger beast defensively then offensively?

[colton]

Kanter and Favors will compliment each other well on BOTH ends of the floor.

"Great rebound, Enes"

"Hey, not a bad shot block, yourself! And that put-back dunk... magnificent!"

Haven't read anything but the first post (sorry).

A center doesn't have to be athletic to hold their opponent out of the paint.

Defense is about keeping your guy from hitting fg's at a high percentage.... NOT ABOUT BLOCKED SHOT STATS.

please sticky..

You forgot "hey you look mighty fine in those baggy shorts".

Blocked shots are all that matter.

While this is true, it is also true that superior defensive players will more often be in position to get a block or 2. It is rare that a leading or talented shot blocker is also a terrible defender. Most good shot blockers are also decent, if not great, defenders in general. But not all great defenders are great shot blockers.

longer =/= athletic.

Longer are you serious? That's your response Eaton was way slower than enes a couple inches of reach is not athleticism

What in the world is your guy's points?


What's so hard to understand about longer and taller centers have an advantage and don't have to be as athletic as their shorter counterpart?

Marc Gasol 7'1"

Mark Eaton 7'4"

Enes Kanter 6'11"


Those are big differences.

Why was Raja touted as a great defender? Because he wasn't athletic enough to do anything else. In fact any player who is labeled as a defender is suspect athletically, or they are an all star. Kind of like a girl having a 'great personality'. Fact is, you don't need athleticism to be 'just' a great defender. Marc has been mentioned, Eaton has been mentioned, I agree with both, and yes, Kanter can be a great defender with his tools. Hopefully he can be more than that. After a few years of Al, I am glad to have a defensive center. Yet if we are going to get anywhere, we need an offensive one to, and Kanter seems to have that as well.

Scottie Pippen, Karl... Want me to go on?
