Because Kanter is 6'10, a finished product, at the age centers start to fall off, historically a terrible defensive big even regarding awareness on D, and has pretty controversial political views.
You can’t use the age excuse. Lopez is 36 and still starting in the playoffs.
I mean, Lopez has always been better than Kanter, he was an allstar. He's gonna get more rope in the league by that alone. Plus he's adjusted his game to compensate over the years. And he straight up has better tools than Kanter. It's not a stretch for flawed role player to fall out of the league by 30, and a former allstar to adjust to a vet role in his later years. Especially when they find a team schemed to use them.
True, but rookie Kanter wasn't any better or worse than the guy who wasn't picked up. The league just changed before his eyes.
