Enes Kanter seems to be having a lot of fun already as a member of the Boston Celtics.
Shortly after his introductory press conference, Kanter decided to play a full-court five-on-five game with some kids. He even wore his complete Celtics uniform:

Kanter decided to join the Celtics a couple of weeks ago despite having a good playoff run with the Portland Trail Blazers. It didn't take long for him to feel at home in Boston, and it was just made more obvious by the video above.
The Turkish big man is expected to help fill a void left by veteran Al Horford, who signed with the Philadelphia 76ers. Kanter can put up good numbers, as he averaged 13.7 points and 9.8 rebounds between the Blazers and New York Knicks. However, the Celtics believe he can do more by becoming a consistent perimeter shooter, and he still could be better defensively.
The Celtics have built a team that's good enough to contend for a playoff spot, but whether they're good enough to replicate their 2017 success remains to be seen. It will all depend on how well their young core will mesh with their new teammates, including Kanter and star point guard Kemba Walker.
From the looks of it, Enes Kanter isn't someone who's difficult to play with, and the Celtics hope he will flourish in Boston.
