Enes Kanter, New York Knicks
One of the more unfairly criticized players around the league is the New York Knicks’ Enes Kanter.
This is an odd asset, one that plays really well around the rim and can shoot anywhere between 8-12 feet, but unfortunately has not been able to catch up to the modern NBA tempo of shooting from the arc as a stretch four.
But where Kanter lacks in his shooting ability from deep, he makes up for in his crafty and physical play beneath the basket. Bully-ball is what Kanter does very well, as he also tends to get in his opponent’s heads, even going as far as attempting to throw LeBron James off his game a few times.
As for what Miami could give up for the illustrious big, hopefully not too much.
Kanter is terrible on defense and that should be overwhelmingly enforced by Pat Riley to New York’s front office so they can steal this rental player away on his expiring deal. If the Knicks are out of the Kyrie Irving or Kevin Durant race, they may just try to add a player that is young and fits better with the new style of New York.
The Heat have multiple options from what players to give up, but this would most likely be another Tyler Johnson deal.
