Ben Simmons
Skal Labissiere
Jaylen Brown
are all obviously coveted. But realistically, we will most likely be picking in the 8-20 area

Furkan Kormaz.

What's more is I think him a safe pick

it's unusual to find 18 yr olds with experience at the highest level of euro ball like him, and he has been successful at it.

He;s a long 6'7 SG


This kid reminds me of a young Ginobili. Rip Hamilton also comes to mind.

People will shy away, as they usually do w international prospects, due to questions about strength and athleticism. But he is by no means a Marco Belinelli (and that's not a knock). NBAdraft.net compares him to Gordon Heywood; personally, I think he will be better than him.


His shooting is world class. 45% for 3 at the " U19s. 42% in the Euroleague/Turkish league this season"

his athleticism is legit too





Strengths:
-Solid size for a SG at 6-6
-Very explosive vertically. Can't always show it in the half-court, but has some impressive bounce, which he sometimes unleashes in transition situations
-Has nice fluidity and mobility
-Outstanding shooter. 45% for 3 at the U19s. 42% in the Euroleague/Turkish league this season
-Great natural touch on his jumper. Can throw the ball in the basket from difficult angles
-Excellent shooter with feet set. Developing shooter off the dribble
-Very unselfish player, sometimes to a fault. Plays the right way.
-Very creative passer. Makes the extra pass. Can drive and dish. Doesn't force the issue at all.
-Can beat his man off the dribble in a straight line with a quick first step. Has great footwork and timing on his drives
-Very intelligent cutting off the ball.
-Throws in floaters with soft touch
-Has great anticipation skills getting in passing lanes. Career 3.4 steals per-40 in national team competition. Sniffs out steals with his terrific feel for game
-Looks like a pretty humble and hard-working guy

Unless Demps gets "an offer he can't refuse" I'd like to see him keep his picks and start trying to fill the back end of the roster with young, inexpensive developmental type players. This Furkan guy seems like he'd be a good addition to this team.

Realistically, we'll be picking 8-20? I'll have what you're having.

8-20 is crazy? I guess your saying a team with only 3 wins, like us, will be picking 1-7?
