Korkmaz is an NBA player. He just wasn't a Doc Rivers player. I'm interested to see if Nurse can use him.
Huh? Career 40.6 FG, 35.6% 3p for a specialist shooter in six seasons is awful.
Sorry but there’s about 50 guys outside of the league that can do more.
Korkmaz is currently playing...In the NBA. So he IS an NBA player. You're going to argue that? Ok...Argue it with yourself. I was simply wondering if Nurse will be able to do anything with him. We have you though...Could you please check your crystal ball?
You're being literal, but DCasey is being realistic.
There's plenty of "NBA guys" who ride the pine their entire career because they're good enough to get paid to fill roster spots, but not any good to crack rotations.
Korkmaz is doo doo butter. Even during the Brett days he was bang average at his role. Not a dependable back-up on a team trying to elevate to actual contender status. He never took any leaps that would get him more than 20 mpg and these guys don't break out in their 7th season.
It was the same when Korkmaz would shine in the summer league and everyone would get all excited again. Then he goes to play international and people get excited. It's just another brand of people getting excited over Ben Simmons' LA Fitness mixtapes.
