I may be souring on Enes Kanter. Unless he's gotten bigger, I'm worried he might just be a slightly rich man's Cole Aldrich. I could see him slipping in this draft.
2011 draft.....

Yeah, that's, for the most part, a horrible video for scouting purposes. Most of his "highlights" are him cutting to the hoop and getting a good pass from a teammate for an open dunk and doing a "look at me" pose afterward.
Fortunately, there was a little bit more later on in the video. His low post seems to be diving across the lane for a hook. He's obviously fairly weak. Looks like he has a motor. His form on his jump shot looks pretty good, though his jump looks a bit wayward. He's a guy who could have good form on his jump shot.

What is giving you this impression? Has he measured smaller than everyone expected him to, ala Cole Aldrich?
I thought Aldrich was known for his defense, whereas Kanter's known for his offense.
anyone know why Aldrich didn't see much floor time in his rookie year?
Obvisouly none of us can really evaluate any of the Euro players. None of us (Im assuming) have actually seen them play games or followed their careers like we can American college players.
Im guessing because he sucked. The Thunder where desperate for a defensive big and he couldnt see any playing time? Sounds like a case of Hesuckass.
Watching Vesely's highlight reel really makes me want him. His dunks are so nasty, reminds of Kevin Durant.

Here is some game film of Vesely, not all highlights. The dude is definitely talented. He can post up and play on the perimeter. He takes advantage of his size on offense and defense. Runs the court well. His shot looks pretty decent to me, from a mechanical standpoint. He obviously needs to work on his body. He doesnt really seem like he has much weight potential, but Im sure can add some, he is only 18.

Aldrich has a learning curve. He needs to put on more muscle. He is now buried on a suddenly deep bench
Another game video of him, for anyone who cares. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJlaskj4G0I&feature=related
Wasn't he a senior or junior coming out of Kansas? How much learning curve should there be? Im going to go ahead and say he has a career similar to Koufus. He will stick around because he is big, but never really amount to much.
Vesely is 20.

Sounds like it's not a done deal for him to go back to UNC?
