Playing for a "not so good" college can't be better than playing for the best team and coach in Europe imo.
NC State? Come on...
That's not stone age crap. That's common sense. Improve your game and get more minutes for 2 more years instead of going to a crappy college.

That's the first time I've ever seen highlights of someone sitting on the bench. He seems pretty good at it, but I wouldn't say that he's elite by any means. That said, the part where he hardly flinched when the coach threatened to crack him over the head with a clipboard made me wonder if this guy has what it takes to make the NBA. He probably should have bitten the coaches leg at that point.

Lol it's a Turkish word.
Yurt's were Turkic/Mongolian tents that were made from mainly animal pelts. Turks came to Anatolia by the grand immigration from Asian steps. But some stayed. Yurt is one of the most symbolic things in the antic Shamanist Turkic culture.
It's pronounced "yoort" not "yört" or like "yert". u is pronounced like the double o in "cool".

If you ask me, players that bare to withstand and try to learn from these kinds of *** kicking coaches surpass their potential. These tough coaches bring out the best of what their players can give IF the players are also open to them for getting better. In Ömer's case, he looks like he does not want any part of it. But I'm just making assumptions. I have no idea about his personality. I hope he studies college since he picked this way. But I bet he is out there to become 1 and done.
If they wanted to keep him they should have actually played him. He was not playing for them. NC State is an ACC school. Usually top two basketball conference in the country. He will play against teams like NC, Duke, Syracuse, Notre Dame, Virginia, etc. So he will against a lot of good players. Also by picking NC State he pretty much ensure himself a lot of playing time. You must be a Fener fan. All of the Fener fans on the Intl board I am also on also wanted to criticize the young man, but his choice to move on. Never had a contract.

You can't play him much when your only goal is to win Euroleague and you have Vesely-Udoh. Fener is not just a good team, they are arguably the best team in Europe. I'm a Galatasaray fan.
It's difficult to give examples on this situation from the NBA. Way different structures,systems and mindsets.
Players ahead of Omer Faruk are not good players. The two are elite players for European Basketball. That's like playing Myles Turner ahead of Marc Gasol.
You can give him more minutes as the following seasons come.

I wish you cared about my posts bro I said it right up there, his coach said they gave him the permission to go to Canada, but they are pissed at him because there are injured players and he should have cancelled it and come and so NOW he will not play him anymore. So he probably could if he did everything they wanted.
With all due respect to Obradoviç, leave the kid alone if he wants NCAA action. **** I would want it badly too. Livin da dream. NCAA to NBA.

Experience-wise if he played meaningful minutes against tough opponents in Euroleague and get adapted to the psyche out, it would benefit him a lot in his pro life. But if he wants to be in the NCAA and want to be a one and done, I cannot lame him.
Everybody should imagine they are 17 and are asked to go to NCAA for a chance to be a one and done.
What would you say?
A Turkish youngster would prolly think "It's like in the movies bro. America! **** yeah!"
I know. I actually won the Euroleague prediction game on Interbasket so I watched a lot of Euroleague games this year and a watch in the EFC game. With Fener having a big budget there is no doubt even if they lose Udoh/Vesely this season they will replace them with other top notch vets which means Omer still may not be in line to play much next season. College of course normally does not get the big time Euro prospects so it should be a lot of fun to see how he does.
You usually have very good posts so I will read more carefully.
Off this topic I know but what do you think of Turkey's chances in the OQT? France will be missing a lot of their NBA players and Canada may as well so Turkey I think if they can get their top players to play has a real chance for Rio.

I don't know man Turkey is usually like if the competititon is tough they overperform, if they are not that good they underperform. Canada will be coming off from friendlies and relatively be ready. France is always France no matter what. But if our guys stay hyped enough, I'd give'em 66% chance of going to Rio. It could be tougher, so we should compete and finish it.

He's probably going to get about 5x the number of minutes in competitive basketball by going to college rather than stay in Europe. For developmental purposes, that's a no-brainer move.
Hey Phillip Rivers and Russell Wilson got cash to burn so why not lure a young Turkish fella to Raleigh.
