Philadelphia 76ers: Furkan Korkmaz impresses in FIBA World Cup

Inexperienced Philadelphia 76ers guard Furkan Kormaz continues to raise eyebrows as his amazing form progresses at the FIBA World Cup.

Turkey-Japan

Turkey initiated their World Cup campaign by taking on a much weaker Japanese team, which mainly consisted of lower-class players.

Regardless of this, the Japanese continued to confront the Turks during the dying minutes of each quarter, where the smaller and quicker guards continued to pull up ridiculous shots over much taller defenders.

However, this all came to a dead stop as the Turks introduced the young Furkan Korkmaz. His court vision and quick footwork continued to keep the defenders second-guessing themselves.
