Not quite the reputation you want to have, but Kanter most likely will have a fantastic response to his teammates’ harsh criticism.
Since joining the New York Knicks last season, Kanter has been an incredible staple on a young Knicks roster. Kanter has averaged 14.3 points and 11.o rebounds in seven games for the Knicks this season. Although he is currently coming off the bench, he has made the most of it. Obviously, Kanter is the best player at his position on the team, his confidence and locker room presence could eventually help the Knicks second unit in reaching a higher level of production.
Kanter may be obnoxious to some of his teammates, but he can also be pesky on the floor for opposing teams. Kanter is boisterous and tenacious on defense and carries himself well on the offensive end of the ball. He is an extremely loyal teammate and is not afraid to step up for them when needed as we have seen in the past with his confrontations with former Thunder teammate Kevin Durant.
Kanter and the Knicks face off against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night where he will surely clash with Dallas big man DeAndre Jordan.
