Enes Kanter spoke to Adam Zagoria and was pretty self-confident on his chances of going #1 in the NBA Draft and how Kentucky would have finished the season if he had played.

I believe if I go play, I will go as No. 1 pick,” Kanter, who was ruled ineligible because of his professional background in Turkey, told reporters here Wednesday on the eve of the draft.
When he was asked to expand on his answer, he said, “Because I believe I’m the best player in this draft.”
Asked if he believes there’s a chance the Cleveland Cavaliers might take him instead of Duke point guard [B]Kyrie Irving[/B] with the No. 1 pick, Kanter said, “Top three, yeah.”
He also said Kentucky, which lost to [B]Kemba Walker [/B]and eventual national champ UConn in the Final Four, would’ve “dominated” college basketball had he suited up alongside fellow draft prospect [B]Brandon Knight[/B] and stud freshmen [B]Doron Lamb[/B] and [B]Terrence Jones.[/B]
“Yes, we would’ve won national title,” Kanter said.
