“He’s a really good player. Everyone knows that he is a really good player. I’m excited.”

ROB BEVERIDGE
World Select Team Head Coach

On Kanter:
“34 points, and 13 rebounds in 24 minutes is very, very impressive. It’s probably one of the best I’ve seen in a long time, so well done.”

BRANDON KNIGHT

On his college selection:
“(I look for a place) where I’m comfortable. A place I feel like I can get better and be comfortable...(I’ll make my decision) next week probably…I know (answering questions) is part of being recruited and part of the process, it’s no big deal.”

On his academics
“(Academics) are a pretty big factor. Wherever I go to school I plan to take my education seriously and do the best I can and pursue whatever I want to pursue. I’m not just going to focus just on basketball; wherever I go I’m going to focus on both aspects.”

JARED SULLINGER

On Kanter:
“He’s light on his feet. He’s very aggressive and he’s strong. He’s one of the strongest players I’ve played against, so he’s a very good player. “

BOB CIMMINO
USA Junior National Select Team Head Coach

On Kanter:
“He’s quite a force. We tried a few different things and we’re just glad that there weren’t that many kick-outs. We tried to drop down and rip a little bit, but he was still making baskets. He’s a very, very good player. I’m just glad the game came out the way it did.”
