Biggest Disappointment: Kanter gone?

Enes Kanter is expected to become a restricted free agent next summer because the two sides couldn’t agree to a contract extension prior to the rookie-scale extension deadline.

During the last two seasons, Kanter, as a scorer, had finally been coming around. He’s averaging 12 points per game during that span.

The Jazz had been doing an exceptional job at securing good young talent for the future, Kanter was a part of that recruitment. Losing him will definitely hurt this team going forward.
