At 6-foot-7, Furkan Korkmaz is looking to use his frame to his advantage in the NBA after two All-Star campaigns with Anadolu Efes of the Turkish Basketball League. Korkmaz earned these honors despite playing only 14.1 minutes per game this past season. Though he also won the TBL Slam Dunk Contest, he is more known for his sweet shooting on the wing.
