Some strange decisions, why no Ata Özbek, maybe too mature?
And its not good to have so young players, Demir Dogan and Emin Kara are born in 06, both are great prospects and probably the best ones in both turkish teams but its too early...both players will perform well because they are already very good but that is not important, important is we had always bad experience let too young players play at NT. And they will steal the opportunity for interesting bigs like Evren Demirci, Halil Ibrahim Aksoy.

From the 05 generation Berkay Dönmez made the biggest step in this season and he could be the most interesting prospect after Demir Dogan & Emin Kara for both turkish teams. All 3 players moved from their home-city to have a chance for high level bb. Demir Dogan from Adana to Bandirma, Berkay Dönmez from Adana to Istanbul, Emin Kara from Samsun(Ordu) to Istanbul. And this 3 players are now perhaps the top3 prospects of both turkish teams. If they had stayed in their home-cities all 3 players had no chance for development and no chance for NT.

first double digit game of sengün.He had 10 points with 5/7 fgp9 rebounds (4 offensive) one assists two steals in 15 minuteshe is getting stronger and his ball handling got significantly better boy is working. It was a less intense game at the end though. His free throw shooting needs work. fts were looking very broken.

Sehmus hazer had also 10 points but he still doesnt know when to use the ball. He still tries out low percentage balls he needs to find better options as a guard but its a matter of time of course.

[CoachZ]

Ulubay didn't start during the weekend and he was limited to 16 minutes. The sloppy play from the end of last game carried over and he managed 6 points on 2/4 shooting, but had 4 bad turnovers in 16 minutes. Anyway, one of the worst games by him this year and his team lost away by 9 points

[Toruko]

Outstanding performance from Bandirma in the fiba cl in oaka against AEK.

Sehmus (Hazer 99 born) had his career night in OAKA. 23 Points with 9/12 fgp 4/6 three pointer. 6 rebounds and 6 assists and 3 steals in addition. Finds always the open man and create often with his speed for others and for himself. Bandirma should give him more occasions to create. I think after this season he is ready for the next step but he should stay in Bandirma with more responsibility for one more year. We need a combo guard like Sloukas and this kid has the talent to become a better player than him.

My boy sengün (2002 born) wasnt as present as Hazer but good to see him making two important 3 point shots anyway. Putting the ball on the floor gives him tremendous possibilities to finish. Strong, very smart, very nice touch around the rim, even right now very difficult to stop him in one vs one. When the opponents have to fear his outside shot, he is a clear nba prospect.

Furkan haltali has been impressing me for the last games. I knew he is very strong and can handle any big guy, he is showing a more agile game and scoring abilities. He is not as skilled as Sengün he obviously is a very hard worker. Its really impressive what he has done today considering that he turned 17 one month ago.

The second team of Bandirma "kirmizi" is also in playoff ranking right now. Nonindependent of the outcome Ercan Osmani and Eray Akyuz need a lift to the a team. Eray is a big question mark but he is good enough to give him a chance next season. Bandirma doesnt need more than 3 foreign guys.

didn't watch the games, but I've been checking the statsheets and I'm quite happy to see these kids finally taking serious roles in the senior level. Banvit has been leading Turkish teams in this, but this year it's a lot more. Tofas (and Ene) also uses youngsters in very significant minutes now. and they deliver (except Bitim, who seemed like he was waking up in the summer, but he's again lost)

Maybe it's related to economics, but whatever it is, the overall picture is refreshing.

[Toruko]

After two weaker games Yurt7 again with a very good performance. Shortly said he was contributing in any aspect of the game. 20 points with 9/14 fgp, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks.

[Toruko]

Tofas won without its 3 big foreign stars in spain with a great defense. Berkan Durmaz was the star of the game. He added 17 points with some crucial shots but his defense was even more determined and surprising.

Muhaymin Mustafa had also a good game on both ends. He has great skills but cant put them really together and utilize them. His outside shot and his defense make him precious for Tofas but this is nothing comparing his real skills on the court.

[Toruko]

Furk finally had a very solid game with the needed intensity and aggressiveness. Very efficient scoring with a career high 24 points, 6/9 three pointer. He also had another 3 but screen was illegal. I always thought that he would never be a very aggressive player but he showed today that he can also be aggressive when he wants.

Very hard to predict his ceiling. Want to see him next season with 10 pounds more on his rips.

Turkish player are taking over slowly but steadily

[Toruko]

Berke Atar (99) left Bandirma and is looking for a domestic or foreign team. Many domestic teams cant make any transfers due to their financial situation.

Before 6 months Furkan Haltali was garbage but now he is showing good development, this is youth bb.....i saw Furkan Haltali when he was 13 and he was very interesting because over 195 and this incredible power, his power is out of this world, i´m pretty sure he will be pretty easy the strongest turkish player(stronger as Enes Kanter), even without much weight room. Ramazan Tekin(93) has very strong body too but he is the slowest player in the world(and can´t use his body), with some speed he would play now EL, his touch is 999999999 better as Semih Erden´s but zero speed + low IQ makes him almost useless even in second division. Furkan Haltali has 3 problems, foot speed, reaction-his go to moves are to slow(same problem has Ömer Yurtseven too) and low IQ but Furkan is showing good development.

Bandirma´s players are untypical for turkish standards, turkish players are pussys but not Bandirma´s. Even physically thin players like Eray Akyüz, Atakan Erdek etc. are not soft players. Super strong are Alperen Sengün and Hamza Mestoglu too and both know how to use that advantage, Furkan Haltali doesn't know how to use that, all 3 are real men, not like other turkish softies. Berke Atar is very strong too but soft, Ömer Yurtseven is not strong and is soft etc.

A really aggressive one

[Toruko]

Berke Atar agreed with the Aba II league team MZT from Macedonia. Maybe a Serb could give a short description of this team. They seem to be a good team and a candidate for ABA I.

[Toruko]

Great win of Bandirma again. Against a veteran team with ricky Ledo Bandirma managed to win in the Basketball CL in Poland and is almost qualified.

When Bandirma was struggling in the third quarter Alperen Sengün stepped up with 7 consecutive points and a big 3 pointer from the corner. This guy just needs strength. I am super confident about his development. A great prospect!
