btw, although kanter does not project as a defensive monster, I think he could be a plus defender in the M.Gasol/Bogut mode. He has a big body, aggressive game style, and appears to be intense. He is not all Jefferson.

We'll have to see how he plays. These numbers are interesting, but don't mean anything by themselves.

We used Jefferson's reach to suggest that he could play center. What we were in denial about was that he did not know how to play defense and was not strong enough for the pivot spot. Kanter looks like a classic center, he is much stronger and appears to play defense.
