Lols.. didnt u know before turk arrived in the NBA, he was like Turkey’s version of Vince Carter in slam dunk competitions? Even George Lucas was a big fan of Korkmaz that he directed one of Korky’s slam dunk competitions

I didn't know it was possible to like him even more, but that did it.

I demand more Point Korkmaz.

The pass at 0:35 in this video was disgusting. The defense couldn't tell if he was going to shoot a floater or lob it to Drummond and he did neither - instead he finds the wide open Niang in the opposite side corner. That's a hard pass to find even without the wizardry. He does a similar one at 2:08 as well, again to Niang.

Im wondering how good do you think he can be? Im quite impressed with his play this season. His ball handling and creating off pnr is a pleasant surprise

I'm not qualified to answer because I've already been proven wrong about him a few times already. He deserves a chance to start and see if he can stick though.

I think Fournier is a pretty good comp for him at this point. Considering the difference in contracts, that’s a steal.

Yes or probably something like SG version of Hedo. Those two comps are what im looking at for best case.

This might be a bit of a back handed compliment, but Kork is probably the best point guard on this roster at the moment. I think he's earned a shot at the job until a better option is found. I like Maxey much more as an 'instant offense' bench piece - that's where I think his future lies.

Last night’s game showed his limitations, though. Against a real ballhawk like Dort or a hard trap, Furk couldn’t even hang onto the ball. Playing him with the starters means the other 4 sixers will have to constantly keep an eye out to help.

We have enough other options, that we should only play Korkmaz for his Korklord games. Let him stay in the second string, but as soon as his shooting falls below 50%, conclude it's not a Korklord game and then he's done for the night. If that's only a single missed shot and only 3 mpg, so be it. Give the other minutes to Danny, Niang, Milton, Joe. Or more minutes for the starters.
