Enes Kanter used to play for Stoneridge Prep in Simi Valley where I live. I used to come to the 24 hour fitness in Simi just to watch him practice since Stoneridge Prep did not have their own gym to practice in. He's probably one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He would challenge me to free throw contests and would let me win. Obviously he would miss the shot on purpose haha. I'm really happy to see him in the NBA and even though he's not in Simi anymore, I'm still rooting for him! :)
he doesnt look that good...hes kind of slow and not that aggressive...he looks like he has an awkward dribble, goes up kind of slow and not that explosively. its great that he can dunk against no defenders and that the video editor cut out all his missed shots and put a collection of only his wide open shots that went in....
I love his moves. Those moves are underrated because they are not spectacular and believe me most of athletic big men lack those moves... And I heard that he is a hardworker. Plus nice shooting too. The only thing that matters his defense. I see him as a decent 19/10 prospect in his 3rd year and potential/borderline All-Star. But what matters is his defense. We will see soon. Jazz used the pick wisely IMO.
The dunks are unimpressive for a guy of his size, but what is intriguing is his shooting range and he looks like he has a good shooting style as well.
Should have stayed in UK for 1 more year to prove he's a top 10 draft pick. Right now I see another Goran Suton or Paul Davis which is not good. If he was ok then I can compare him with Mehmet Okur. But in the mean time he needs alot of work....
Did you watch something different? He was not bad at all and actually the best of his team, yes, the team sucked but anyway he scored higher than valanesdadssa or whoever he is. By the end of next year, no one will remember your litvanian.
@0kcu hahaha, did u watch the euro C stats? valanciunas was higher in points and rebounds, when he didnt even had a lot of playing time, besides Valanciunas was the MVP of U19 World championship, so shut the fuck up
he's got the fundamentals of a draft but if he's focused enough to be a star he will work on speed and first step cuz thats lethal for a big man to dominate nba.
@freestyler45 prejudiced? O.o but what are you talking about??? where I have say, I do not like Muslims or Arabs??? "objective" person and person with "prejudices" are two different things... and yea, all Japanese are honest like me, and say what they think...
@jgapon dude, u said all muslims have same mentality, u prolly never been to turkey in ur life before u just saying that bcoz Turks are muslims just like araps, its like saying chinese ppl and japanese ppl have same mentality bcoz they are all asians, isnt prejudiced ?
@freestyler45 you are quite right about the fact that Asians have the same mentality and totally different from Europe, Arab or American, and I don't think that in this is something wrong... however it is not a matter of prejudice, but a fact demonstrated by years of history and international cultural data, that religion has completely divided world opinion... so relax, and remember that no matter where you were born or what your religion, but it is much more important what you do ;")
@jgapon ok bro, all christians have same mentality, all muslims have same mentality, all asians have same mentality, theres only few diffirent mentalities in the whole world , u are not prejudiced at all.
There will be a two possibility..One of them; his career will be same as darko milicic and he cant adapt nba basketball,second of them ; he is the next tim duncan..He has got a great fundemantal at the age of 18..I dont see a normal career for him becoma a superstar or garbage time player
In Eurobasket2011 turkey will be competing in group A facing Spain and hosts Lithiuania.
Enes will match up against Gasol brothers and his arch rival Jonas Valancinas who are at same ages(19) and have been competing in European Championships since early ages.
To the attention of all Enes Kanter Fans. He is selected as am meber of turkish Natinal Team, which will be competing in European Basketball Championship. Enes will play games in Turkish National Team starting with Aug 31. eurobasket2011dotcom is the web you can follow up games and boxscores. There might be live broadcasting of games from some websites as well.
@MexicanBeanFart u got ur period, that time of month im guessin lol..take it easy its real easy to sound like a tough guy when ur behind ur computer, bet u wouldnt get like that if he was in ur face..
His post moves are nothing special at all. I mean hookshots from 5 feet away? And some dunks? And although he's got a nice shooting form, i feel his release is really slow. His overall game looks slow as well. Not sure if he will have the speed to play in the NBA. Darko 2.0?
he will be something special for the years to come..combination of dirk's soft touch on outside, pau gasol post moves and howard strength,i imagine if he was drafted by the cavs, that would be great.
@savolrat you don't have to be a freak athlete to be a good big man. Look at Dirk, he's not that athletic or agile but he's made it 13 years in the NBA and now has a ring. Same thing can be said about Pau Gasol, although Gasol has been in the league a shorter time that Dirk. I agree that he has good skills and I think he'll do just fine in the NBA.
game is definitely there. to play him as a center is limiting him. he'll be a great power forward. i see a little of Dirk with some Pau Gasol mixed in. if he can add a bit of a power game, and i think he can with the way he handled Jared Sullinger last year, he'll be an All-Star.
He'll answer all our questions about his game, whether if he's fast or quick enough or he can shoot accurate enough, "on court" . It's the best answerer.
@Zebeldarebel noticed that for a while too. However, it's at 32.5 higher then Kevin Love, who Kanter projects to play similar to. Plus, his vert is still higher then the supposed extreme athlete in Kawhi Leonard.
@MyCockIsNotForYou Darko Milicic looked just as impressive based solely on workouts. I'm not saying Kanter will be a bust like Darko, but looking good in a workout with no D is a WORLD of difference compared to an NBA game against grown ass men
@bigDIEter1212 Not just any grown ass men. The best in the world going at lightning speed. He's very skilled but in today's game u need skill and athleticism. I agree with u about the Darko comment tho because Darko was alot weaker.
He doesnt even jump during his shots....
