When the Portland Trail Blazers brought back Enes Kanter in the offseason, he was a known commodity at center, a familiar face for Terry Stotts to work with. Theoretically, there’s a lot of value in having someone that is at least familiar with your system return to your team, and Kanter was very familiar his potential role after helping the Blazers win a playoff series back in the 2018-19 season.
Kanter has spent nine years bouncing around the association. Other teams are well aware what he brings. They know that Kanter is one of the better inside scorers and rebounders in the league, but they also know how much of a liability he is on the defensive end.
