According to Terry Pluto of The Plain Dealer, Atlanta Hawks were rebuffed when they asked for the Cleveland Cavaliers to throw Anadolu Efes swingman Cedi Osman into the deal for Kyle Korver. Osman, who is the leading scorer for the EuroLeague ball club, is averaging 14.8 points on 56.3 percent shooting from the field and 41.8 percent from three-point range.
If you don’t know who Osman is, it’s not hard to understand why Cleveland Cavaliers wanted to keep this sweet-shooting youngblood with silky athleticism.
There aren’t any European comparisons I can think of off the top of my head but interestingly enough, the closest comparison I can think of for Osman is Sasha Pavlovic, who played with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers from 2004-2009 and only had one season where he shot less than 36.
