Turkey’s Energizer Bunny. He never ever stops hustling and playing hard. He might not be the best athlete or the strongest for his position but he definitely is one of the best rebounders around. His immaculate timing and glue-like fingers allow him to average 10 boards a game in 30 minutes. He is also an above average defender able to defend multiple positions making him a great weapon against the pick & roll. He is also a good shooter and not hesitant on taking the 3. But sometimes he tries “too hard” causing him to do more harm than good. Snagging an impossible offensive rebound only to take an ill-advised 3 pointer, is a common scene with Türkcan. If he gets going he kind of lets his heart do the thinking and tries to conquer the world all by himself.
