The Turkey native Furkan Korkmaz was high on many draft boards last year, but fell due to the fact he wouldn’t make an immediate impact. At 26th overall, Korkmaz was regarded by many as a steal due to his 3-point shooting and age. But with a huge offseason ahead, does Korkmaz join the Philadelphia 76ers next year?
First, we should talk about why Korkmaz didn’t make the trip over after being drafted last year. When Furkan was drafted last year he was only 18 years old, and although he had a gifted shot, he had a small frame which would make it hard for him to defend at the NBA level.
