Enes yeni sezon oncesi gecen seneye nazaran daha etkili olacaginin sinyallerini veriyor. Bakin 4 hazirlik macinda 20 dakika, 12.5 sayi ve 10 ribaund ortalamalarini tutturmus durumda. Elbette bu sezon oncesi maclari olcu degil ama olsun.
Bu arada Enes'in muhtesem diyetini duydunuz mu bilmiyorum? Su asagidaki fotografa bi bakin derim! :))
Isvec diyeti degil "Kanter Diet" :) NBA.com'da gecen ay bahsetmislerdi!
bu da fotoyu link ettigim sayfadaki yazi...
Utah Clippers maci sonrasi yazilan mac yazisinda da Enes'ten epeyce bahsetmisler:
Life as a Utah big man
So much of being a frontcourt player in the Jazz offense revolves
around moving from block to block as a screener and screenee. That
constant motion demands precision and timing, a certain rhythm that can
intimidate or confound a guy who has been accustomed to setting up in
the low post his whole life, then awaiting an entry pass.
When the Jazz acquired such a post player in Jefferson a couple of
seasons back, there was some reasonable skepticism. Jefferson was a
throwback, a tireless, hulking pivot who owns the left block, starting
and finishing his offensive possessions down there. It took Jefferson some time to adjust to Jerry Sloan's offense, a system that has remained very much in effect (with a few tweaks) under Ty Corbin, who succeeded Sloan in the spring of 2011.
Jefferson, who is in the final year of his contract, may or may not
be in Utah this time next year (or sooner) given the embarrassment of
riches the Jazz have in their frontcourt. Wherever Jefferson lands, he
credits his time in the Utah system as essential to his maturation as a
low post.
"Actually, the flex has really helped my game over the last two and a
half years," Jefferson said prior to the game. "It's really helped me
out big time. In Minnesota, it was all about fighting my way on the
block. Throw the ball inside. Try to score against double-teams. With
the flex cuts, it makes my job a lot easier. If I set good picks and get
my teammates open, I bounce off that and now I'm the one getting the
layup."
Systems matter, and Jefferson has not only learned how to pass out
of double-teams but, as he alludes to above, he understands how to make
himself useful when he's not the focal point of a set.
Second-year big man Enes Kanter is another big who isn't necessarily
a natural fit in the flow of the Jazz offense. We're talking about a
guy who recorded eight assists in 874 minutes in his rookie season -- a
most unJazzly stat. But on Wednesday, Kanter appeared comfortable in the
confines of the Jazz offense. Taking a cue from Jefferson, he got into a
little crossing flex action along the baseline with Randy Foye in the
second quarter and, voila, Kanter used the action to get a deep catch on
the left block, which he converted with a nice fake to the middle, then
a reverse pivot to a strong drop step and layup.
A little later he gave Jordan the treatment with an assertive spin
and drive, drawing a foul. And like Jefferson, Kanter is gradually
learning to look over his shoulder to the arc when the double-team
arrives. He's also been a beast on the boards, a trend that started the
instant he arrived in the league. Over four preseason games, Kanter is
averaging 12.5 points and a hair over 10 rebounds in just under 20
minutes per game.
Kanter still needs to cultivate the reflexes and timing to flourish
as Jazzman. Like Jefferson, he's not a perfect fit. But just as Big Al
has used the system to expand his game and lure defenses away from
Utah's weak side actions, so too can Kanter if he continues to put in
the work.
