I don't want to diminish Harrellson's growth but Harrellson is not as talented as Enes Kanter. They were and are talking about this guy as a top 5 draft pick, without playing a single NCAA game. Harrellson is not even on the draft board.

Harrellson will hold a special place in my UK heart, just as Patterson and Hayes do, but Kanter is much better.

Enes Kanter might be a better center overall and the University of Kentucky might've had a better regular season record, but Harrellson greatly improved during the NCAA tournament. Therefore, Enes Kanter might've helped Kentucky during the regular season, but Harrellson's determination during the NCAA tournament probably made him almost as effective as Enes Kanter would've been.

Of course, if Enes Kanter could've joined, it's obvious to put him on your roster. But for the NCAA tournament, Harrellson did everything that you could expect from a player. Therefore, I personally don't think it would make much of a difference. The only difference I can think of is if Enes Kanter could be another "Kimba Walker" and score 29 points whenever you needed him to, but that's asking a lot.
