On Enes Kanter not playing on the national team in 2012, Tanjevic said that “He is a great talent and we miss him a lot. He decided not to join us but honestly, he needs us more than we need him. He has not played or trained with us in the past three years. I [also] had to replace [Kerem] Gonlum, who was on holiday with his family. Without Kanter, it will be a little more difficult but I think we’ll be able to get into EuroBasket 2013.” Ball In Europe

But Tanjevic also sees a problem with dependence on NBA stars at all – namely, the coaches. Was he surprised when Kanter declined to play with Team Turkey? “I’m not surprised at all … America is the perfect place to lose your head. Firstly, because the coaches [there] do not understand. In the NBA, there are just three or four coaches who have been there for 100 years, making billions and winning trophies. Others are weak. Including [Utah Jazz head coach] Tyrone Corbin…" Ball In Europe

“I should have told him that I was going him to do a great service by teaching one of its basketball players and he could have earned money on it. But I don’t want to talk to guys who do not know what they are doing. Kanter has forgotten how to play basketball. He will never be a center but he always starts with his back to the basket. As a power forward, this would be devastating. He’s 2.10 meters tall and [could be] the best shooter on the Turkish team, backcourt included. But in the NBA, he never takes a shot.” Ball In Europe

Fear not, Jazz fans. GM Kevin O'Connor is exploring ways to move up in the draft. They have the Warriors' pick in 2013 (top-six-protected) and veterans like Paul Millsap, Al Jefferson and Devin Harris, and they might even be willing to add another young player (as long as you don't ask for Derrick Favors or Enes Kanter).

The question is, how high can they go? Their presumed target is Weber State's Lillard. They need a point guard and know him better than any team in the league. But if they could get higher and get an even better prospect, they would. They like Beal and Kidd-Gilchrist a lot, too. ESPN.com

Before Thursday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers, Jazz rookie Enes Kanter addressed the crowd. While it was a little difficult to understand every word the Turkish center said, he seemed pretty confident with his words. After thanking Jazz fans for their support and encouraging them to continue their loyalty through the playoffs, Kanter dropped the microphone to the ground and raised his hands to the sky. Some of the fans in the Energy Solutions Area looked confused, but Kanter's teammates couldn't have been more excited. The video shows Al Jefferson, Josh Howard and Paul Millsap laughing and jumping after Kanter's speech. Deseret News

Tinsley found a Bruce Lee poster in the training room and, as a joke, taped it up next to the locker of rookie Enes Kanter in the Staples Center visitors' room. "I put it over there by his locker to give him something look at. He probably don't even know who he is," Tinsley joked. "I was a big fan." Kanter said he'd heard of Lee before, but Tinsley added, "He's like, 'What's this?'" Deseret News

After two days of informal discussions between teams and agents, multiple sources told The Salt Lake Tribune that Utah will likely focus on making minor additions to what will be an 11-man roster once rookies Enes Kanter and Alec Burks are signed. The Jazz are expected to primarily focus on adding a proven backup point guard, and could use veteran minimum contracts to fill out the remainder of their roster. Salt Lake Tribune
