Favors vs. Kanter
Posted: Thu Feb 9, 2012 5:57 am
Basically, who do you think has the most likelihood to be a perennial all-star? Not asking who will, just who has the most potential.
I'm personally going with Kanter, though Favors is the sexier choice. I've honestly just been blown away by his rebounding rate and arsenal of post moves...at the age of 19, with less actual experience than a lot of guys. He's got a ton of improvement to make - at the same time, he does a lot of fundamental things that a lot of NBA veterans never really grasp. His timing, use of size and strength, positioning, footwork, ability to use either hand, smooth shooting stroke (although it has yet to really come forth in-game) and array of post moves; it's just an impressive slew of really intuitive talents the kid has.
It's impossible, really, to say who will be better, or even just how good either kid will be. I personally believe that Kanter becomes a franchise player, whom we build around for years to come.
