Ppl say hes spurs material but you got kawhi at that position


Cedi is a very versatile player, doubt positioning would be an issue for him. What's more important is the translation of his ball skills to the NBA. He can't hit a jumper consistently and plays a driving game therefore needs his ball handling to be effective.


His shooting improved this season, he went 5/5 from 3pts line lately, nobody expected him to be a perfect player at the age of 20 anyway, he just need to go NBA ASAP, instead of wasting time in Europe.

Yeah, if he comes over to the NBA now, I think he's a definite 1st rd. pick.

His shooting did improve, but it only went from being horrible to inconsistent. 5/5 is a fluke, anyone can have a hot day.

Exactly.Last game for example, Efes won but thanks to effort of Lasme and Saric.Osman shot horribly whole game for 3, i think he was 0/4 for 3 and 1/7 FGA in that game.

His shooting improved this year regardless of what he done lately and he was always a plus when hes in the game with his energy and hustle thats why his coach trusted him at this young age even in a tournament like Euroleague .

One point needed to be consider is Efes trust young player more than other traditional big Euro club. Saric, Osman, perhaps Ulubay and Korkmaz next year will get many minutes. i think Osman will be projected like Brewer that excel in fast break and score occasionally.

You don't need to point out his strengths, I'm already high on him. But his shooting isn't good enough for the NBA game. He needs his handles to translate.

You can count Saric out of that 'young player' list. Saric will be Efes' 1st or 2nd option next season and most likely their best player like this year. This season, in his first serious Euroleague season, he was Efes' 1st scorer, 1st rebounder, 1st blocker and 4th in assists. Even though he was 3rd and even 4th option somethimes due to the fact he was the new guy on the team, Saric was their best player through the season in Euroleague, especially in PO and against Madrid where he played brilliantly. In Turkish league Saric was also Efes' 1st scorer, 1st rebounder and 2nd in assists. When we know how he plays lately (he was only 1 time single-digithed in last 11 games, including 6 playoff games), there is no doubt who is the natural leader in Efes. Clutch Saric, born to be a winner.

Anyways, little trivia, Saric was born on 4/8/1994 and Cedi on 4/8/1995,
