wait for it



wait ............

.........................for

.....................................................it


"We're looking to get better," coach Tyrone Corbin said. "Whoever the best available guy is to help us get better, that's who we're looking for."

Corbin added: "We're looking for good players who'll help us get better."


Only 12 more days and all this 'drama' will be over, then we can start waiting till august for the Jazz to sign a couple of ageing vets.

Holy Mother *$(#Y(&in S*$(!
It's so simple, yet complicated. That's coach of the decade talk right there. I will be surprised if we don't get an NBA title next year with our 47th pick leading the helm.
 
This guy should be available at #47

Jonathan Givony: Tomorrow at noon is the NBA early-entry withdrawal deadline. According to agent @MiskoRaznatovic, Furkan Aldemir will stay in the draft.

What can the Kanter fans from Turkey tell us about Furkan Aldemir?

Love his name.

So anyone know anything about this Furkan guy?
 
This Furkan guy needs to hold a Furkan workout for the jazz, so we can see what the Furk we're dealing with.
 
Sorry guys for late answer.

Prominent things about Furkan are,

1) His rebounding instincts, he can be good at rebounding almost as much as Enes, the guy nowhere near Enes physically but he doesn't rebound with his size, he has tremendous timing and position knowledge for rebounding and he has length.

2) His character, he's a winner. He's tough, hardworking guy and very smart, he's very warm and amiable off the court, but a true warrior on the court.

3) His pick&roll game, with a good pick&roll pg, he can be a good weapon on the offense. He rolls to the rim quickly and finishes well.

Additionally, I can say he's decent at free throw line, he has lateral quickness and quick feet, he has nice shooting mechanics but doesn't have a mid range shooting yet, he doesn't have a polished post game, can do little face to the basket or on one on one. His size is good for 4 but needs to gain muscle to cope with the NBA bigs, especially for the center position. He's a good decent shot blocker in Europe and I think can be an average blocker in the NBA.

Overall, a true hustler, very good rebounder, always ready for passes on offense but can't create his own offense, smart player, good defender, definitely not typical soft euro big, needs to size up and develop an offensive repertoire.
 
Farkan has 3 years left on a contract with Galatallatala..... something like that, in Turkey(I think).

That sounds about right for Mr. Kevin I think we have enough youth for now O'Connor.

Oops, btw will anyone tell me what the hell his name resembles to you guys? I can't find out because I think with the original pronunciation which is about "Foor-khon" or something like that.

Edit: His name sounds as in this video...

Yes you're right, but I think it has an option for nba in the last two years, if I'm not mistaken, I have to research it.

Hmm, apparently it's only a matter of preference, and I believe he wants to play at least one more year in europe, so he would be a nice investment for the future. I don't know very well the other options though at the 47#.
