Korkmaz Needs to Spend Another Year Overseas
Furkan Korkmaz may look like an interesting prospect to bring over for the Philadelphia 76ers this offseason, but he is better suited to stay overseas.
A knockdown shooter who is 6-7 and can’t do much else. No, I am not talking about Hollis Thompson. Furkan Korkmaz was drafted 26th overall in the 2016 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers and has spent the past year in Turkey playing for Anadolu Efes and Banvit on loan. Over the past year, Korkmaz has been able to continue to do the two things the Sixers drafted him for, shoot the three and be really tall. As Hollis Thompson has shown us, shooting threes with a high rate of success isn’t enough to stay in the league.
