I don't think Kanter will be an issue.
It's a given Kanter will not disappoint us.
The problem is the Celts still need another star player.
If the Celts add a guy like Kevin Love or acquire a player like Bradley Beal, Kanter will prosper even more.
Just don't expect Kanter to be like Horford when it comes to pick and roll defense.
Disagree
Celts have the talent
Kevin Love?
Cmon now
Yeah I agree - Kevin Love is pretty much shot.
He's not a star and hasn't been for several years now. He's basically a better (but smaller) version of Kelly Olynyk these days. He's an above average pretty good (but not elite) rebounder and he's a skilled passer, but his jumper isn't what it once was, his post game left him years ago, and his defense has been consistently mediocre.
In terms of intangibles he's also a proven choker in the playoffs, he's highly injury prone, he has known emotional/mental problems that he's admitted to struggling with (not a good mix for a team that had all sorts of chemistry issues last year), he struggles with leadership roles, and and he struggles to deal with pressure. He's proven to be incapable as a leader.
I can see how Love could be a nice fit on the right team (he'd actually probably be a great fit on the Clippers, Lakers or Warriors right now) but he's just not a good fit on a Celtics team that already has too many wannabe stars and who's biggest concern right now is defense.
