Yesterday Furkan had a perfect game against Slovenia. Check out 2nd half from YouTube. After sleeping in first half he carried Turkey national team on offense.

How has he been on defense? Turkey has a fun team with former Sixers Wilbekin and Ilyasova and obviously Cedi Osman is great.

Korklord showing some skills off the dribble.

Furkan will surprise a lot of guys here in the future. Calling him a poor guy Redick is completely off, cause his skillset is brighter than Redicks... He just needs to bulk up and work on his defence.

Probably can trade Korkmaz for Marvin Bagley or DeAaron Fox now. Not sure im going to do it though..

Poor guy MJ, not JJ, is more appropriate

Best off the dribble shooter on the team? Maybe.

he was not very good but he was not too bad either. his raw talent on offense is best since Hedo for Turkey. he can score anytime he wants. this year he looks like better while finishing around the rim.

His main problem is not his defence. sometime he literally sleeps in the game. he has to make himself motivated and top carefull in whole game. also he has to realize that he is an extraordinary talent. last day he got a very important game in a single period (third). with his talents and cedi's metality he can be a valuable 76er.

Korkmaz sounds like he means business this year.

Watch on YouTube

Korky’s D not an issue against euro players and in zone defense context. But it will be an issue against NBA caliber and individual defense heavy context.

Korkmaz looks legit, man. I can't wait to see him gradually sneak into the rotation as the year goes along.

One thing is extremely true, if we can get some good mins out of Furkan AND Shamet, it will be a huge boost to this team this season.

Collars looks like he went 1/2 with the late first rounders two years ago with the Korky hit. That's pretty solid.

Thanks BC!

No doubt. If either one of them gives us meaningful rotation minutes this year it will be great.

I still think that we will be able to find shooters on the buyout market in season though if need be.

Bad GM, but no one can say he hasn't had some good draft hits in his career.

Landing Simmons and Korkmaz in the same draft is an incredible haul.

It's a shame he had to ruin all that goodwill by burning through a ton of assets to come away with Fultz and Pasecniks the very next year. But I digress.

The deep reserve rotations are always an underrated storyline on the eve of season openers. I'll be pulling for the Korklord to get some meaningful run tomorrow night.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Korkmaz can do when given real minutes, but we need to calm down a bit. You're treating Korkmaz like he was some kind of draft steal yet the guy probably hasn't even earned a spot in the rotation yet. Let's save the praise for once he's actually done something meaningful.

I agree.

With both of you.

How? I don't know.

Well saying landing Simmons and Korkmaz is an incredible haul is like saying Wilt Chamblerlain and I combined for an incredible 100 point performance.
