I just noticed Kanter has more than doubled his career assist percentage this season. Wonder if that’s a fluke or an added wrinkle in his game. If it’s B, thats really intriguing.
Finally someone posted the only rotation that makes sense. Still too many players though. Cut Curry, combine Hark+Aminu into a single situational position.
I really hope Stotts uses him the right way. And on another note if we have any more stretches in the game this year with single digit or lower scoring quarters then that is so 100% on Stotts. With the addition of offensive players like Hood and Kanter then he needs to be quicker on the subs when we fall into scoring droughts. Stotts is running out of excuses very quickly ...
It's not that I don't like it - Kanter is now our 2nd/3rd best bench player (behind Jake & maybe Hood). I just don't really get the point. We should be trying to develop Collins. And Meyers is FINALLY playing semi-decently. I suppose we were paying tax anyway, so what's another $1m (or whatever the cost is) if it doesn't have any impact on potential repeater status? Just seems like a pointless gesture to say "I'm trying, Jennifer!". Maybe Kanter is the difference between one or two PO wins? So the range of value added is somewhere between (1) not getting swept in the 1st round, and (2) maybe making the 2nd round. Call me crazy, but I'd prefer to develop Collins. Buuuuut, I suppose that's asking WAY too much considering Terry is our coach. TLDR: No problem with Kanter, just don't understand what the team is trying to do.
You think they haven't? The game is too fast for Collins and I'm losing hope that is slows down for him.
You're not alone. I've always figured he starts them for their defense, since the other three are our primary scorers.
Someone posted that Collins/Nurk have only played 20 minutes together this season. So yeah, I think they haven't.
