I like Kanter. I think he'll be an all-star at some point. However, he's pretty bad defensively. Dennis Lindsey has made it clear that the Jazz are putting defense first. Kanter has proven that he is a starter in this league based solely on the numbers he puts up. The Jazz can't afford to pay starter money for a bench player. He'll be a valuable trade piece come draft day or even all the way up to the trade deadline.
