AKMVP,,please,i just want you to answer some questions:

if those kids are school kids,what was Enes than? was he something deferent?was he older than the others?(dont tell me he had euroleague experience or something,he played total of 30 min,and less than 80 min in turkish basketball league)

where does US u-16-,,u-17 and players comes from? if those players comes from these school kids,than they must sucking big time in international tournies acording to your statments

by the way;one of the players was on that video(which Enes posterised ) is a 7 footer

did any of the american born nba players play in these high-school league? or are they coming from somewhere else?

did lebron james,dwight haword,chris bosh,kevin love play in this league when they were young? if so how was their stats?

im not trying to be funny or anything,just want you inlight me,i dont know much about high school basketball

aybars, look at those kids in that video. They all smaller, skinny scrawny teenagers compared to Enes who already at age of 16-17 had adult mans body - thats the difference, superior physical advantage. It was not fair competition for him. No wonder he was scoring like 50pts a game, let me play vs kids 5 ft tall and lighter by 50lbs then me and I will score 50 pts a game easily. Kosta dominated U-18 Eurobasket more then Kanter did, what happened later in NBA when he met his size players? These high school vidoes are garbage, sorry.

Not all High School leagues are created equal.

Not sure, but I think Kanter went to an area that was considered pretty devoid of talent and size.

look,,i mean all the great players we know playing in nba now,they were where enes was in this video,,i mean among these garbage players(as you called) comes the US u-16 and u-17 players,,all the us players drafted in 2011,,they played in this league,,yes enes was 16-17,,so was the other players..

i think some people here are very unfair against him,he has the least experience among all players drafted this year,no mather he played in the euroleague or TBB,cause his professional minutes are less than 120 min untill december 2011,he played 180 min in nba,yet people complaining he is not superier against 10 year oexperienced vets.

And then dominated the Nike Hoops Summit.

Dude has been amazing at every level of competitive ball he's played, and he's certainly demonstrated he has a decent jumper.

Like I said, I don't really know much about Kanter's HS time, but typically big city areas have more talent.

For instance, Big Al played in a HS in rural Mississippi. I think he put up ridiculous numbers (43 points, 18 rebounds, and 7 blocks per game according to Wikipedia).

He has yet to demonstrate it at an NBA level.
 
Kind of wish there was a poll on here about this. I am curious to see percentages.

Personally I think Favors is better right now and has more upside. I have not seen that much from Kanter besides rebounding and toughness which is great but not enough to make you an all star level player.

and?

I think he has demonstrated quite a bit, actually. It seems his strength, leverage and rebounding all translate to the NBA. His footwork also looks very good. I wouldn't expect his soft touch and jumper to disappear, and I think he'll get better finishing around the rim with time.
 
i looked at favors stats from last year 6.8 ppg,,5.3 rpg in 19.7 minutes,,drafted 3. overall,,enes has 4.8 ppg,5.2 rpg in 14.2 min so far,,drafted 3. overall,,i dont see big deference,,so whats so bad about Enes? i think both gonna be great players in couple of years

He was advertised as having great footwork in the post but so far I have seen slow,awkward attempts which resulted in bricks or blocked shots. Sorry but his footwork in NBA neither is working nor looking anywhere close to good. There is hope though that practising with Big AL and Millsap he will learn how to use it properly vs NBA talent.
