I don't know about him dominating Enes, but the kids forreal. Another fantastic big coming out of HS in a couple years. Leaning UK .. :)
 
Couple highlights from one game. (KEEP IN MIND that this is of his as a HS junior. He's not entering the league until the 2015 draft.

I remember from statistics class that you should always use a sample size of 1. So I am inclined to think that this kid is vastly superior to Kanter.
 
Kanter is a guy who might get beat or dunked on in a 1-on-1 situation, but it doesn't show how Kanter rebounds in traffic, plays defense, makes good decisions, etc. No way this skinny kid is going to push Kanter away from the hoop.
 
Actually not that impressed. A 6'11" kid that doesn't seem explosive and soft and plays with finess. Also doesn't seem to have a vertical in game. A highlight list of open dunks.

The competition he's going against in that video looks slightly less than stellar......
 
He sounds really humble...

“I would like to think that,” Okafor said when asked if he could play in the NBA right now. “I’ve actually had the [opportunity] to play against a professional basketball player. I played against [Utah Jazz center] Enes Kanter. He came to my school over the summer and I actually dominated him. Then, I found out that he had been the number three draft pick. I spoke with his trainer and he was like, ‘You dominated my kid,’ and he was telling me how he thinks I’m going to be special and stuff like that. I’ve heard from a couple college coaches that think I could be productive at the NBA level [right now], but it’s so hard for me to tell since I’ve never experienced a game at the NBA level or at NBA speed.”

Demarcus Cousins doesn't even dominate Enes -- at least not under the hoop. And look who said he dominated, the kid himself. Yeah, and a high schooler dunked on LeBron a few summers ago ... lol.

I doubt he's as good as advertised.
