2011 NBA Mock Draft: Despite Draft Workouts, Enes Canter Remains a Mystery

2011 NBA Mock Draft Looks To Uncertain Future of Enes Kanter

I wish I could tell the future. I could make quite the living telling general managers just what they could expect from these prospects.

The fact that I would use my powers for NBA good shows you what kind of basketball dork I am. Trust me when I say that the powers that be are looking for anything that will show them what kind of player that Enes Kanter really is.

The Turkish giant has been labeled as big, imposing and great in the post on both sides of the ball. That is hardly the lucrative breakdown general managers are looking for.

Kanter was not allowed to compete last year at Kentucky. His time as a pro in Turkey precluded him from such a thing.

There is limited tape on him, and very little time to properly work him out. He did so with Toronto at the start of the week, and he just concluded a workout with Cleveland.

The sentiment that has come out has been very much as vague as when the process started. Raptors director of scouting, Jim Kelly told Foxsports, "We really haven’t seen him in enough games where you can actually really be 100 percent sure."

So once again we enter the NBA draft with a big man that has some questions surrounding hi. It wouldn't be an NBA draft without one.
