After being forced to sit his freshman season at Kentucky, Enes Kanter may miss a good part of his rookie season in the NBA due to its current lockout.

"It's easy for me to say that I am the unluckiest guy ever. I couldn't play in college, and right now there is the lockout. The only thing I can do is just wait," said Kanter.

Kanter was denied eligibility at Kentucky by the NCAA because he played nine games during the 08-09 season with Fenerbahce Ulker.

"I haven't played in almost two years and it's hard within that time to go from not playing to being ready for games," Kanter said.

"Those two years of not playing hurt him a little bit and he's a little lost in space," said Nihat Izic, mentor of Kanter.

"Sure, you can practice, but without playing games in two years, that's not easy to take care of five or six things on the court at once," Izic continued.
