I’ll always remember his postgame interview after his buzzer beater at PDX. He paid a nice compliment about Horford being a great teammate while Al stood by smiling proudly about Furk’s great moment.
Great article. His inconsistency was due to his inconsistent use. Other, "better" players were allowed free reign to be "bad". Kelly "I will always shoot" Oubre. Melton, etc. Can go weeks stinking up the joint and their playing time never changes. Was Furkan Korkmaz EVER given the luxury to have "ups and downs"?! I have watched him come into a game, help the team to a lead, get taken out, never to be seen again as that same lead goes away and a loss goes on the books. I appreciate the analysis but the context of his career needs to balanced. His "failure" as a Sixer has more to do with coaches who didn't know how to use him than any short comings of Furkan's. Just look at the Golden State and Denver games over the past few weeks. He was taken out AFTER he played the Sixers into positions to win the game. He's taken out and losses followed. His entire career has been just that. Thanks again but context is important.
