NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Nearly 1,000 miles apart, in vastly different situations, brothers Enes and Kerem Kanter were more or less saying the same thing.
It was just Friday that Enes, the center for the woe-begotten Knicks, said he wasn’t interesting in tanking. He wasn’t interested in development. At the NBA level, he was interested in winning. It was the only thing that made sense to him, and the Knicks paid their players a whole lot of money to do just that.
Kerem, here in Nashville, and paid nothing at all, said he joined Xavier to be exactly in this position.
