Add Enes Kanter to the list of people who are victims of this three-obsessed league. When will the madness end?
Last year’s vaunted Favors-Kanter duo didn’t really work out. Traditional big-man pairings like that one aren’t effective anymore; at least one of the two bigs has to be able to shoot from outside, or the paint becomes too constricted.
Kanter flirted with a midrange game last year, likely on the request from his coaches. Now he has gone full-hog and is shooting corner threes like its no big deal. How much longer before people stop shooting inside the arc entirely?
