Enes Kanter, capable of singlehandedly demoralizing the opposition on their own glass, has been delivered on his reputation in Boston. Known for his insatiable hunger on the offensive boards, he ranks in the 97th percentile league wide according to Cleaning the Glass. Delightfully surprising has been his ability on the defensive glass too, pulling down 26 percent of available rebounds which places him among the elite defensive rebounders in the 94th percentile. Boston has been screaming for a board eater of Kanter’s ilk for close to a decade and they are getting rewarded for their patience now.
