Kanter

Postby X-Expert » Tue Nov 14, 2017 5:19 pm

Believe me, I have only seen him play two live games and Musketeer Madness, but it seems like he has been overmatched. This may only be because he is new and getting used to things. Heck Drew Lavender had some growing pains into the league then was a stud but right now, Kanter is rightfully the 9th option. I hope he gets some experience and gets comfortable with the process. just an opinion.

I think we all hope for that to happen
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

X-Expert I agree, and the window is closing very fast. The problem is Gates & Jones are playing very well and should be in the 20-25 min range every night. Marshall is the 3rd option of the post guys (post defined loosely in X's system, as all our "4's" are stretch 4's), and O'Mara, while struggling, is the best low post scorer of the bunch.

Even if Kantner lights it on fire, the most I see him playing is 12-14 minutes a game, especially since he is as motivated in playing D

Suspect in Big East Kanter and Harden won’t get much PT. Harden is a freshman and expect good things in the future but Kanter is 5th year senior. Expected more from him.

I think Harden looks pretty good. He will get time I think. Kanter - Not so sure. Pretty disappointing so far.

Kanter may get more time because of possible foul problems and decreased stamina for Tyrique and SOM.
