It has been an eventful season thus far for the Philadelphia 76ers and one of the more subtle story lines has been the development of second year player Furkan Korkmaz. It would be inaccurate to say that Korkmaz hasn’t had some impressive stretches this season as well as shown considerable development. However, to believe that he should have a solidified future with the franchise wouldn’t be completely warranted.
The rise of Korkmaz began this past offseason during the NBA Summer League where he had a 40 point outing. In the 17 games Korkmaz has played in, he’s had four double digit games scoring and has shot above 40.
