Kanter did a nice job of passing out of double teams. Look at what opposing centers shoot vs. Kanter: http://www.82games.com/1718/17NYK19.HTM (.625) vs. last year (as a bench player) http://www.82games.com/1617/16OKC18.HTM (.533) That .625 is a real eye sore... and Kanter fails the eye test. Zaza scored 13pts on 5-6 shooting in limited minutes last night. Feels like whoever Kanter goes against ends up with bloated numbers "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs

His inside scoring and OREB’s are nice but are not worth the trade off at all. Every point he scores he gives up at least the same on the other end. Not good. |

Kanter did a nice job of passing out of double teams. I like Kanter a lot. He can def play a role but I doubt he would take that here. He's best suited for the 2nd unit where he can feast on the boards, gobble up easy buckets and you get him out of there before his defense hurts. Would he take a bench role? Do we want to pay him to be a bench player? Hard to see that playing out after starting the first half here with some success Going up vs. other team's starters is a problem.

Kanter did a nice job of passing out of double teams. Kanter has abused many good defensive bigs as well. Lopez can put good numbers up on elite defenders, nevermind Kanter. Saw that in NY. Again, Lopez wasnt good enough. Kanter isnt good enough. Its like we have to have the best center in the league, or no one at all. Not buying that Kanter is incapable of improving on D. |

Kanter did a nice job of passing out of double teams. He actually does ok against big name centers it seems. Steps up to the challenge and they just try and take him man to man. It’s guys like Vucevic dropping 30 that I have a problem with, which comes back to his awful team D. |
