Why Furkan Korkmaz Will Outplay Expectations This Season

This theme of this offseason for the Sixers has clearly been adding knockdown shooters to solve the spacing issue that was so evident last season. With all the hype surrounding guys like Seth Curry, Danny Green, and Isaiah Joe, Furkan Korkmaz has seemingly become the forgotten man in the Sixers rotation. The 22-year-old seemed unfazed by the lack of expectations and started off his interview as confident as ever.

Last season with the Sixers, Furkan averaged 9.8 points and shot 40.2% from beyond the three-point arc on 4.9 attempts per game.
