Is Enes Kanter a fit with Celtics after yesterday's buyout?

The timing is right. After being bought out by the Knicks, Enes Kanter is a free agent and may have a good fit in Boston. We know all too well that Brad Stevens is not overly-fond of big men, and Enes is definitely that at 6'11" and 250 pounds. The 26-year-old center is an inside scoring threat and rebounder that can hit the occasional shot beyond the arc. His best season in 2014-15 saw a stat line of 18.7 PPG and 11.0 RPG in 31 minutes of action. He shot 57% on field goals in that same season and 79% from the charity stripe.
