Stop calling Kanter a center.

Can we finally declare that Kanter is our PF and Favors our C?

-Favors always guards the C on defense which he is good at. He did great against Dwight Howard the other night.

-Favors plays offense like a true center. 90% of his shots are inside the paint. When he does sets a pick he is always rolling to the basket.

-Kanter plays defense against the PF's and always should. He struggles guarding taller players.

-Kanter also struggles against taller defenders the same way Boozer did on the offensive side. And he mainly does the pick and pop play which is very much a PF move.

Kanter is a PF

Favors is a C


Glad we cleared that up.
 
I'm sure many here would agree with you including me. But Favors shoots his jumpers fairly often to be called a %90 inside shot preferer. And it's mostly Kanter's postmoves and his ability to avoid foul trouble by not defending anyone so that Favors does not go into an early foul trouble guarding centers and athletic guards.

boozer did not sturgle against taller players.

retard.
he was pwning tall players.
the most memorable being yao ming.
with his patented rainbow shot
 
If Kanter turns out to be as good as a player as Boozer was, then sure, play Favors at Center. There really isn't that defined of positions in this NBA anyways. Just trot out two big guys, and against the only real centers in the league, tell them to use their fouls wisely. We have like three guys like that in the entire league, Brook Lopez, Marc Gasol, and Andrew Bynum. I think most of the time we should be fine, and the other times, just play smart help defense and we can shut down the post.

I got hung up on that one part....
 
I think Kanter should be playing center on D. He sucks guarding guys quicker than him. Plays more like a pf on offense though.

So you think Favors will Guard Robin Lopez tonight and Kanter will guard Alldridge? I'd be willing to bet that Favors guards Alldridge, as he should.

You're probably right which is why defensive adjustments still take place. But if Kanter is playing against the Rockets the other night there is no way he is guarding Dwight Howard...who is the quintessential NBA center.

What kind of word is that, es-sequential? I tried to look it up and it broke google.
 
Lol at the thought of Enes lead-feet Kanter guarding PFs.

I'd rather have Gobert, Evans, Marvin, Jefferson, and even Biedrins anchor the defense than slug feet.
