Turkish Prospects

[Toruko]

Does demir dogan still play basketball?

I expect him to return, yes.

Actually, I do not count Bitim and Biberovic as a prospect. Also, the situation of Biberovic is not clear yet. Mutaf is a guard for me.

From 04-08 range, we only have Buyuktuncel, and little bit Alyanak. Of course, I talk about real prospects as a candidate to play in Euroleague and NBA.

Btw, I wrote it but it is gone. I know he is Romanian. Did he make a choice to play for Turkish national team?

He has played for turkey u14 before so I guess he's going to keep playing for us

I am pretty happy with the development and the role of Melih Tunca. He made some defensive mistakes today but he has a solid ball control and seems to develop scoring wise as well. I think the break out will come next season but very underrated prospect.

[Camoka]

Buyuktuncel played in the first preseason game with 4 points and 12 rebounds. He cut his hair by the way. I think it is little bit too much but it may be good sign for his mentality. From the clips I saw, he looks even heavier than summer. Regardless of whether he plays good or bad, getting heavier is not good for him and us. Playing as a forward makes it better option for Turkish national team.

There isn't a single turkish prospect that went to america and came back as a better player so I have no expectations of him he won't get drafted

[Toruko]

Melih Tunca played again well in the Turkish BSL against Dacka (not the strongest team). 16 points (2/5 from three) and two assists and this almost being born 2006.

Its NCAA time.

The most important Turkish pieces are listed below:

Berke Buyuktuncel (04') - Nebraska
Samet Yigitoglu (04') - SMU
Derin Saran (04') - Stanford
Tibet Gorener (02') - SMU
Berk Can Akin (05') - UC Irvine
Ege Tan Yıldızoglu (04') - VMI
Zekeriya Tekin (04') - Le Moyne

I think Berke is more suited for Europe even if he gets drafted. I want him to play as a carrier of a European top team like Real Madrid. He has great upside.

Is darius really that good?? I feel like he isn't that special outside of his shooting but I'm not an expert ofc

We must wait until the games against Fener & Bahcesehir and more important against international competition. But the development is very likely the way that he will be a 1 of the biggest prospects playing for U-NT of Turkiye. He was overrated but with his new height and overall development in the last months he has become a completely different player and has the momentum at the right time on his side. Anyway it will be interesting too follow him because will most likely add more inches because he is still very young + very unmature and must find then his position/positions(he is already real 200 without shoes).

Feners Orhan Seha Ozbey(2011, G) is a very interesting prospect. He is exactly that prospect we must follow. I have already whatched several games of him. He had here yet his best game. Look at these highlights, very very impressive. His father was pro soccer player and 180. He is a bit too small, next season he will play U16, he must add many inches to take his potential to the next level, this is the biggest concern at this stage about him. And the best news is, Efes has the G Ates Tuze in the same generation, he is even bigger prospect as Seha Ozbey. Follow always real talent, only talent matters, dont follow bums.

Amazing game of Sarper David Mutaf against Bahcesehir. He has surely ups and downs but he shows magnificent versatility in terms of scoring. His defense is average at best but he has surely Euroleague upside

[Toruko]

Samet Yigitoglu with 13 points and 5 rebounds in his first game for SMU. You could see all of his experiences playing pro level for so long. Very aggressive and hard playing big.

I am not a pro when it comes to evaluate 14-15 years old but it seems to me that the 2009 generation is above average talented so I have seen these above average players so far

Demir Ozturk
Kaan Arslan
Kaan Belgutay
Omer Yusuf Shik
Darius Carutasu

and maybe others to follow?

Apart from the names you wrote, Bahcesehir has talents like Omer Alp Elitas, Kartal Bora Simsek, Ethem Aras Atli and Yagiz Kilic. Our 2009 generation looks good and I am looking forward to U16 Europe and U17 World Cup.
