BONUS SLIDE

With their 24th pick of the 2016 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers are more than happy to select the 6’7″ 175 pound shooting guard from Turkey, Furkan Korkmaz.   A lottery pick on many early boards, the young man simply appeared on the radar too early, and while other prospects began to appear, his value simply slid to make room.

But this will be a huge steal for the Philadelphia 76ers at 24.  If Bryan Colangelo changes heart, Korkmaz would be a welcome addition to the team.  But if Colangelo remains committed to shutting down the mentoring and development aspects of Brett Brown, Korkmaz is the perfect candidate for a Eurostash scenario.
