Enes Kanter plans on entering the draft

Kanter plans on entering the draft and would prefer not to play overseas even if the NBA stages a lockout. He is scheduled to go to Chicago after the school year to work with renowned trainer Tim Grover and he also expects to play again in the Hoop Summit on April 9 in Portland, Ore.
One NBA general manager didn’t think Kanter’s layoff would hurt his draft stock. “You end up studying him in camps and group workouts,” the GM said. “It’s hard to do an evaluation on any player that is 18 or 19 whether they play or don’t play. You’re looking at potential
“I cry when I watch the games,” Kanter told Yahoo! Sports. “When I watch them play I’m sad because I cannot help my teammates. When I see them losing, it’s frustrating.
“Where he ultimately lands depends on what underclassmen come out,” one NBA scout told Yahoo! Sports. “But he’s definitely top seven at worst. He’s just so skilled offensively. He has a decent midrange game and can definitely finish in the paint. He has good footwork, runs the floor well and is very agile for his size. “From what the international scouts say, he’s the top big man coming out. He’s like a taller Al Horford. He can pick and pop, and score inside. He can pretty much fit into any system for any team that needs a center doesn’t matter if they’re a half-court or running team.”
