Furkan Aldemir is often, and probably will continue to be, overshadowed by the likes of his fellow sophomore and power forward, Nerlens Noel. This is quite unfortunate, because I feel like Aldemir has a lot that he could offer to the Sixers. Of course, Noel is going to get the starts and most of the minutes in the four spot (and rightfully so), but I truly believe that Aldemir could break out of his shell this year, and become a quality off-the-bench player to the Sixers, in relief for Noel.
Last season, Aldemir wasn’t given many opportunities to show what he had.
