FURK YEAH!
Furkan Korkmaz’s agent says the first round pick from last year is coming over. From some Turkish website:
As announced by his agent Misko Raznatovic, in a very particular way, Furkan Korkmaz will join the Philadelphia 76ers next season. Selected with the 26th pick in 2016 NBA Draft, Korkmaz spent most of the season with Banvit on loan from Efes.
Korkmaz is 6’7 and thin, but he can shoot and will give the Sixers some depth on the wing. He doesn’t have quite the high upside that Dario Saric had when he came over, but there’s no reason to think he won’t play a role right away.
