Wouldn't he have more definition in his legs with that low a percentage?

Yeah he's calfs aren't nearly as ripped as his upper body, so I'll take it up a couple of percentages.
I think 5% is close to where he's at. Regardless, he's in a far better shape than he was last season. I'm really looking forward to seeing whether it pays off!

Hell yeah.
We thought he was pushing around people last year?
He'll be freight training through Bynum and Howard this year.
If we do the draft all over again today do we take him again @ 3?

If those pics are available prior to the draft we took him he wouldn't have fallen to 3. He's way more valuable than Derrick Williams. At 20 years old his physique and conditioning are ridiculous! Although he hasn't yet learned to play the NBA game (especially on the offensive end) we've seen plenty of signs that the skills are there. He'll never be a leaper, but he's big enough to protect the rim without leaping.

Absolutely. I'm very confident he'll be a top 2 player from that draft. Well, top 3, depending on how Burks turns out
You people act like you've never seen a ripped NBA player before. I hate to break it to you but Brian Grant had more muscle definition than Karl Malone (but I'm pretty sure Malone's body fat % was lower.)
Also, I don't buy these claims that Kanter wasn't in as good of shape last year. When he was drafted he was at 5% body fat. He's been a monster since he was 17.
I'll be excited when he runs the floor like Karl Malone* and stops getting the ball torn out of his clumsy hands.
*When I say runs like Karl Malone I mean runs hard all night long. I want him to keep his huge-stepped, lumbering run that I've grown to love

Kanter has always been in good condition, but never like this, IMO. I don't ever remember him having a six pack.
For the record, I think Kanter is going to surprise people this year. Everyone seems to be expecting pretty big leaps from Favors, Hayward, and Burks, but only moderate improvement from Kanter. I think he'll show more improvement than the majority here are expecting.

I hope you're right. But, tell me, where is he getting his minutes to make this leap? <-- (you don't have to answer because nobody knows)

I highly doubt it. So far he is not even top 10 player from last year draft.

This^. Also when he will learn to pass out of double team and will convert at least single pick and roll play.

This.
He has always been in a good shape, he has it naturally. Maybe he added extra muscle definition which I don't care much about, unless he has also worked out for his lower body and his explosiveness.
And the attitude of his tweets, oh I hated it. He's more immature than I thought he might be. No Enes, you have to prove yourself on the court, I'm not buying a few ripped body photos as proofs of your hardworking, effective summer. We'll see it during the season.
As for the photos, they're taken during the exercises/or right after the exercises while his muscles were pumped up with blood. And the photos are apparently professionally taken. Haven't you noticed the great lighting of them? I've been myself working out for a few months right now and I've seen my abs defined first time in my life just a month or so ago, and now they are almost as good as Enes' abs are on a good light condition, even though I still have 10+% body fat. So it's not a big deal.
Anyway, every new photo of his ripped body just annoys me, nothing more. Oh, and that interjection, "baby", he says after his every sentence, WTF? It's annoying even more than the "I mean" and "Gerçekten" patterns. In Turkish or English, he talks like an adolescent idiot which really what he is. But the problem is, he thinks he's a god or something like that.
To sum up, I'm not getting excited over a few overrated photos of him like most of you guys(?) are.
(And all the things I wrote in this post have nothing to do with him ditching the national team or sucking performance of the Turkish NT with already three defeats in a crappy qualifying group.) Or, maybe they have...
There were rumors about him being out of shape, so he posted the photos to prove otherwise. There is nothing immature about that. And if you don't think Kanter is in a better shape, then you haven't been watching! I'm not able to look for shirtless photos of him right now, but he obviously was a lot softer last year.
That does not mean he'll automatically become a better player. But it is encouraging to see how serious he is about getting better, and I hope he gets the minutes to show it.

You should adjust your sarcasm meter.
