Furkan Korkmaz will be joining the Philadelphia 76ers this upcoming season, according to his agent Misko Raznatovic.
A rough translation of the tweet says that Sixers fans now have more reason to drink Turkish beer, alluding to Korkmaz, a native of Istanbul.
The 19-year-old guard had visited the Sixers over the course of several days back in the beginning of June to meet the coaches, and discuss his future with the team’s brass. After the draft, head coach Brett Brown confirmed there was a “strong chance” Korkmaz would join the team this upcoming season, citing that he really wanted to join the team.
