    Talk about Kanters defense got me thinking...where would he rank if he graded out even average on that end? Offensively I put him in the top 10, and if we’re talking about pure post work, probably top 5. Overall I have him in the top 20.

    That’s quite a luxury btw to have two top 20 centers for 48 minutes.

    Not sure what you've been watching, but I saw Meyers (yes Meyers) hedge and recover multiple times in the past few games. I was actually taken aback when I saw it.

    It must be like that myth about how the Native Americans couldn't see Columbus' ships because they didn't exist in their visual database.

    He just thought he was on offense and got confused.

    Terry will immediately say, "This is what NOT to do. Stand under the basket."

    I dont really remember this, but honestly when it comes to Meyers if I dont remember his defense thats usually a good thing, because he hasnt been screwing up.

    Never ask an old person to give you 10 minutes...we don't have that to spare FAMS!

    Doesnt matter. It shows he's better than Meyers because I've never seen Meyers play this good of pick n roll defense against anybody.

    I am totally convinced Meyers is claustrophobic...with space he plays well...in a crowd..panic attack

    I've heard many straw man arguments, but triumphantly proving that Kanter > Leonard takes the cake.

    I mean, we're talking about two bad defenders here. If Kanter is no worse than Meyers, he'll be a huge help because he's elite offensively and on the boards.

    Kanter scores with effortless ease. I've always thought that if he played in Europe, with less-rigorous defensive expectations on him, he'd be considered a world superstar. (Of course now that he's a wanted man, he'd never consider that option.)

    I'd say we're catching up with Euro ball now that teams score 150 pts a game and you can't breath on anybody when you defend without fouling....Silver likes his big scores!
