Welcome Furkan Korkmaz

[76ciology]

Look at Niang's face of wonder and awe, as he stares at greatness. It's like Dr. Grant when he first saw the Brachiosaurus.

I never knew Embiid can jump that high

I never knew Kork could jump that high.

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

Is it some resolution that furk may be able to play some point forward /combo guard moving forward?

He seems much better running the two man game

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

I love how he kindly picks up after himself.

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 had to make this after finding this awesome image from the first game:

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.

[blargh]

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.

[FlyingArrow]

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.
