I think all of us thought Kanter would not play this year as only 19 and had not played BBall in a couple of years. I cant beleive how effective he is and he is already a great rebounder!
Burks has played little but showed flashes and hopefully gets sometime.
Overall I am shocked at Kanter's early development!

Re: Rookie surprise
Kanter's done as well as you could ask a young guy in his position. I'm heartened by his play so far as well. He has a good nose for the ball.

Re: Rookie surprise
Brooks, such a shame we didn't draft him, he will be great sg in future, great skill set, and great length

Marshon Brooks was one of five players I had on the list of guys I thought would do well with the Jazz. I liked Klay Thompson, Kanter, Burks, Biyombo, and Marshon Brooks. I figured if the Jazz traded down for the either the 12th or 3rd pick Brooks would be a good choice. I thought his overall game was going to be good. But I also thought Burks deserved to ahead of him.
After watching Kanter, he's going to be much better than Biyombo. Biyombo is a project, but you can't teach size and wingspan.
Another guy that's going to be good that went late is Norris Cole.

Great to see a guy fit in like this with little play. He has proven in 2 gsmes hes no MoAlmond or Joe Alexander who will be out as soon as possible. He will have a career.

We really need a beast on the boards and Kanter has the knack, size and attitude to be that beast. I'm liking what I'm seeing so far.

Kanter's hands are so fluffy! I love it. He is a monster on those boards. Oh and, YUM:

Wrong, that's Hayward.
Agreed. He plays so much better at the two. I think it puts him in the middle of the action a little better than the three, and that means a lot to the team because he is such a good passer and totally unselfish.

what i see for this moment Burks skill set puts him more on pg spot than on sg one, if Harris fail in few next game i would really like to see Alec playing lot as our pg.

This might be the best solution to get Burks playing time. Dude can handle the ball. I like it.
