when will we hear news of Kanter ?

[candrew]

I'm pretty sure I see a couple of Kanter blows posts from people who were saying Favors is a bust 4 weeks ago.

And now DL looks like a genius for locking up Favors before he goes RFA.

Trust me, Kanter will play well again, suck again, go back to playing well and then go back to sucking again before he figures this thing out.

See my Fire Ty thread.

LOL - nobody read that thread because you're a ****ing trollololololo.

This to infinity and beyond!

He was putting up good numbers when he was in the starting lineup.

How was his defense, defensive rebounding, and general team play? "Numbers" don't tell much of the story. Kanter has been playing poorly all year.

Ok ok, better to keep playing Evans over him.

Evans is executing much better than Enes right now. When Enes shows he can do the things that are being asked of him, he'll probably get more minutes. It's that simple.

Crowd favorite, homeboi. Watchoo step before we watch it for ya.

He is not being traded this season. Big men don't hit their stride until 5 years in the NBA, so Kanter has got a couple more to show his worth. It would be stupid for them to trade him.

He's 21... com'mon guys...

Sightings of LunaticWolf by the townsfolk lately. Authorities say, he is stalking around in order to bash Kanter.

I trust you, this is very sensible and I am baffled by the extreme views and volatile views on Kanter. I think we are getting what was reasonable to expect from him, perhaps slightly disappointed with development and playing time in prior years.

I wish it were that simple, but in the past Corbin has not shown a tendency to base playing time on performance. How else to explain the amount of playing time given to Bell, Howard, Foye (relative to Hayward who was a superior player by almost all metrics), and Marvin last year? It strikes me as hypocritical now to be saying that playing time is based on performance where it comes to the young players we need to develop when this standard has not been applied to veterans with the same consistency.

While I agree that playing should should, to a degree be based on performance, this cannot be the only, or even most important standard, used this year, particularly given that the objectives this year are to develop the youth and improve our position in the draft. Kanter should be given a consistent more or less 25 minutes a night. I'm confident that we'll see his performance improve over the course of the season, but this current policy of yanking him around and giving him spot minutes (while ruining his confidence) is inconsistent with the objectives for this season.
