Kanter to workout with Kiki Vandeweghe

Kanter definitely needs to nail down a simple right-handed hook to give the up-and-under stronger footing. Besides that it's one of the strongest fundamental moves in basketball.

Agreed, but he also likes to party!

Kanter's greatest strength should end up being his ability to get great post position before the pass is ever thrown. This is the main problem with Al Jefferson as a post player, he lacks the strength to get good position before and after the pass, so has been forced to rely on the push shot as the majority of his career from about 10-15 feet out. The result is a sub 50% shooting percentage and virtually no trips to the free throw line. Fool's gold. Kanter may not have much of a vertical, but does have inhuman strength, he (and his coaches) need to figure out how to maximize using it for the game of basketball.

Getting really deep post position using his strength was a Karl Malone speciality. If he could learn just that one skill from Malone, Kanter would be a very good starting Center.

Matt Harpring is not happy with Kanter's attitude, you guys...

Did Harpring mention anyone by name? Lots of people are working out with "big name ex NBA players". Even if he was talking about Enes, Harpring had no idea how hard Enes is working. No player spends every waking moment in the gym, and you can take a lot of pictures in one day off. Harpring's a bit of a reactionary and often speaks like he has Turrets, so unless he has a specific situation, he can go get faded (to use Enes' words)! I don't know if you're Turkish, but it seems that many Turks are really pissed at him (because he posts pictures of himself with girls?; didn't play in Turkey?). Anyone know why?

Here's Enes' schedule (1.5 hours off/day)

Workout schedule: I started Monday. I'm going to have one more practice [Saturday]. I'm going to take Sunday off. Then I'm going to practice until Saturday next week. And then I'm going to come to Salt Lake. … We practice in the morning two hours, then I play five-on-five. I take one and a half hour break. And then I do lifting for two hours. In the night time, I come here and I just shoot.

I'm not pissed at Enes like many of other Turks and I'm aware of his hardworking summer time which I always tell by the term sweating blood that is also the meaning of "Kan-Ter". I also believe he will contribute the NT greatly after a few years as soon as he guarantees his place in the NBA, not D-League or not FIBA. Then he'll be more confident that he won't miss anything and he won't have to be too jumpy about he's gonna waste his time, do the wrong thing. He's too young. I write this everywhere. We shouldn't expect that much responsibility from a person that young. Both this and the other one that I linked his lame photo tweets are just fooling around with the dude that I appreciate and reactions to his actions. But I'm pretty sure Harping is pissed at Enes coz he poses with those Playboy chicks on both his sides ;)
 
ppl need to worry about kanters mental state lately...him and his gf of two yesrs just broke up and thats when all his partying began. a couple posed pictures flexing doesn't prove his basketball skills have improved.
 
has anybody saw enes in a pub or in a club at salt lake ? If not i want to remind you that everybody is free to partying etc. Look at biyombo guy, he works hard like enes and he's partying lot.
 
Yea, I think it is great. The kid is 19 years old, rich, single and living in LA. Are you surprised he is running into hot girls? As long as he keeps his head on straight and works his butt off, I wish him well and can only think how it would be to be Kanter. The kid has his whole life ahead of him so he should enjoy it.

His mental state seems to be fine.
He's in great shape, and is screwing playboy playmates.
