in Turkish bball, except for Guler brothers, whose father I did not have the chance to watch, none of the sons seem to have lived up to expectations.
Necati Guler (1956): he was apparently a starter for Eczacibasi and the NT.
- Muratcan Guler: good career in the TBL with Besiktas.
- Sinan Guler: pretty good career with NT and in the EL.
Mustafa K. Bitim (1975): average TBL player, never came close to the expectations.
- Onuralp Bitim: outstanding as a prospect, disaster so far as a pro. I don't see him recovering, either. Worse than his father.
Murat Konuk (1972): one of the best power forwards before the 80s generation. A starter for NT and Tofas.
- Mert Konuk (2000): still time to break out, shown great promise earlier as a shooter but kinda disappeared.
Omer Onan (1978): solid career both for NT and Efes/Ulker/Fener. Starter in the EL.
- Yigit Onan (2002): ?
Omer Saybir (1961). A unique player, one of the best scorers of the league of his time (1980-97).
- Yigitcan Saybir (1999): still waiting for him to do something.
Serdar Apaydin (1966). one of our earlier shooters for the NT, and also decent career with Ulker/Fener in the EL.
- Leon Harun Apaydin (1999). I guess Serdar chose his teammate, Harun Erdenay's name for this kid, who seemed to be shooting well for u16 & u18, too. not sure what he's doing right now.
any relation of Goktug Bas (2001) to Semsettin Bas?
should we count Resat Firincioglu (Ricky Winslow)?
Any other examples do you know?
