I also seem to remember in the playoffs last year he was bringing the ball up the floor after made baskets and initiating the offense occasionally which I didn’t remember seeing in the regular season. Am I remembering that correctly? Could there be any value there?
I am a fan of Kanter, I like his offensive game and he seems like a good teammate. That being said, his D is just awful and it is easier to “hide” an offensive liability who excels on D than it is to “hide” a defensive liability over the long hall.
You must be listening to Berry Tramel because he's said that many times and it's hogwash. So how do you explain James Harden then? He is widely considered to be one of the worst defenders in the NBA yet it doesn't seem to both him too much, does it? The truth is you can hide a big who is an offensive liability because there isn't the requirement in the current state of the NBA game for post scoring but you dang sure can't hide a wing player who can't shoot and score. If you are a defensive liability but you account for more points with scoring, assists, offensive rebounds, etc. then you still can be very valuable and that's what Kanter does game in and game out. He gives up a few points defensively but is a dominant low post scorer and rebounder.
