According to eurohopes he is the 3rd best european player born in 2011 and some compare him to Cooper Flagg. Not his talent level, but just his movements, body etc. and honestly, I see it

As a Turk, I hope he turns out even just a quarter as good as Flagg

Not much footage of him, only on his own instagram

According to his coach Sean Marshall he‘s the best player of his class in California


You should put the name of the player in your post, I wasn't able to open the link.


Oh yeah sorry, I thought I did

Mehmet Cüneyt Demirözü
But i think in the US he goes by Cuneyt Demirozu

2009' 6'9 PF from Turkey Darius Karutasu. Reminds me of a young Franz Wagner. Watching for 2 years, its crazy how much he improved over the last year. Always a good sign.

Hugo Yimga Moukouri is doing an historical season in France at age 17. Even Victor Wembanyama had lesser offensive impact in France at that age. He's scoring 8.6 ppg in 18 minutes with the second best team in the league (Nanterre).
At almost 6'9 and 6'11 wingspan he's a very physical combo forward, really good on rebounds, especially offensive. This year he became a very confident shooter from 3 (44%) and FT (87%) and still has a very soft touch around the rim. On defense he's very focused despite not making a lot of stocks. He lacks a bit of explosiveness but his lateral quickness is elite.
He must improve his playmaking to be a top pick prospect for the 2027 draft but he is already NBA ready as a 3&D player.
Here are highlights from his last two games
