The 21-year old Turkish youngster signed with the Sixers in July of 2017 and received various G-league assignments in his rookie year.

Coming off a strong summer league outing this past season, Korkmaz couldn't buy enough minutes for himself in Philly. He expected to be a part of the rotation in his second year but according to the coaching staff had not done enough to earn adequate minutes yet.

“I was the first guy who asked to be traded. Then six-seven players left and I stayed the whole season. It was a really tough season for me to get used to everything and deal with all this stuff,”, admitted Korkmaz.

He played a total of 48 games after the franchise failed to trade him before the deadline in February, and averaged a meagre 5.8 points and 2.2 rebounds per game. Although his playtime increased down the stretch, the 2017 Champions League Best Young Player couldn't really find his feet in a Sixers uniform.
