BTT, just read an interesting article on Kanter and his eligibility.

As we wait for the NCAA to clear Enes Kanter (or not), let’s look at a couple of our options. I think all options for UK revolve around this year, because nobody really expected Kanter to play more than one year anyway.

Scenario 1: The NCAA decides that Kanter didn’t make any more money than his expenses to be on the road with a traveling team.

Result: This would be ideal, but unlikely. If this were the case, Kanter would play the entire season and Kentucky would be a top-5 national team all year and probably make it to the Final Four and maybe a championship.

Scenario 2: The NCAA decides that Kanter was compensated too much when he played with professionals, but is still not considered a professional.

Result: This is what most people believe will happen. If the NCAA decides that he was paid but not considered a professional, Enes will have to sit out some games this year (historically on a 2-for-1 ratio of ‘paid’ games). He would still be able to play much of the season.

Scenario 3: The NCAA decides that Kanter was a professional.

Result: This is the ‘nuclear’ option that nobody (except Calipari-haters) wants to see. If the NCAA decides that Kanter was a professional, he would not be allowed to play at all for UK. This would also affect Enes’ options for going to the NBA, because whichever NBA team wants him would have to pay his Turkish team. It’s sort of like a trade between NBA teams now, where there has to be some compensation. Since a Turkish team would not be interested in draft picks (for obvious reasons), there would have to be money involved. Now do you see why his Turkish coaches have a conflict of interest if Kanter was found to be an amateur?
