Young Utah Jazz center Enes Kanter gave the Golden State Warriors plenty of bulletin board material in advance of Friday night's matchup in Utah, including this summation of Warriors big man Andrew Bogut.
"Andrew Bogut: Big guy, knows a littler Turkish, I don't know what to say about him," Kanter said, via CSN Bay Area. "He's just, I don't know, a big guy -- nothing special."
And what about the NBA-best Golden State Warriors as a whole - a team that's already taken down the Jazz twice this year?
"They're pretty good," Kanter admitted Friday morning.
"Everybody knows they're the best team in the NBA. We're trying to get where they are, and we're not gonna back up -- we don't care who they are. So we're going to go out there and fight."
The young center would have been wise to stop there, but...
"I think we have enough talent to guard (Klay Thompson) and everyone on their team," he added.
The Jazz host the Warriors at 6:00pm PST on Friday night, so Kanter will have a chance to prove that he's not all talk with the teams squaring off at Salt Lake City's EnergySolutions Arena.
