Korkmaz may remain one more season in Turkey
Furkan Korkmaz is unlikely to join the Philadelphia 76ers this summer.
The most likely scenario is that Korkmaz will play one more season in Turkey before joining the 76ers who selected him with the 26th overall pick of the 2016 NBA Draft.
Per Bucks County Courier Times, it might not be financially feasible for the 19-year-old Korkmaz to join the Sixers now.
"I believe he’s got a desire to come (to Philadelphia)," Sixers President of Basketball Operations Bryan Colangelo said on Wednesday at the team's training facility. "He’s actually really long and he’s growing. He might be 6-7, 6-8 now and with ball skills. (He's a) good decision-maker, shot-maker (and) does a lot of good things — very interesting player."
When you factor in that Korkmaz probably wouldn't be ahead of Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot in the shooting guard rotation, another season overseas for Korkmaz seems to make the most sense.
