The Phoenix Suns should pursue Furkan Korkmaz

Furkan Korkmaz hasn’t gotten many minutes in Philly, and he’s asked to be traded in just his second year in the league, citing playing time as his only request. The Phoenix Suns should be willing to offer him ten minutes a game and hope he can live up to his bright potential.

Korkmaz was selected with the 26th pick in the 2016 Draft, and the team knew he was raw when they selected him. He spent a year overseas before coming over to the Sixers, but he still wasn’t ready, and the team was much better than they expected they would be, meaning Korkmaz could never crack the rotation.
