I'm happy to see Rob Williams getting some minutes these last two games, but I do not understand the limited use of Kanter (tonite DNP). The guy is a rebounding machine, provides our only post offense within a set possession, plays hard and has a great attitude. I understand that his feet are a bit clumsy at times but he gives plenty of effort on defense. Wasn't it Portland that he made such a difference for in their playoff run last season ?
Brad is really emphasizing defense of late, and Kanter is no match for Williams on that end of the court.
Plus frankly on the offensive side, Williams has been really good. Setting great picks, hitting shots (dunks are easy) and free throws. Highly efficient.
Kanter's only edge is offensive rebounding/put backs.
I see Kanter being limited to narrow situational situations going forward. When the other team's center is slow footed, or where we are ice cold from the 3, and need some quick dirty points. (Not to mention that having Kanter to collect offensive boards helps shooters relax).
It would have been disrespectful to throw Kanter in when we were up by 40.
I like this team's possibilities much more with Rob as the first center off the bench.
Seems like just yesterday the media were predicting that G Williams would be the 3rd option at center, and R Williams wouldn't see any minutes.
Now this!
