Over the next few weeks, we’ll be profiling every player currently on the Sixers’ roster ahead of training camp, which begins on September 28.
Furkan Korkmaz
Age: 24 (turns 25 in July)
Contract status: Furkan is entering the first year of the three-year, $15 million contract he signed with the Sixers this offseason.
Background info: The Sixers drafted Furkan 26th overall in the first round of the 2016 NBA draft out of Anadolu Efes in Turkey. After barely playing for the Sixers during his rookie year (he appeared in only 14 games), Korkmaz got on the court a bit more during his sophomore campaign.
