Cenk Akyol

4) Cenk Akyol – Turkey
With the second to last pick in the 2005 NBA Draft, Billy Knight made perhaps the most underrated move of his general manager tenure with the Hawks by snagging Akyol, who has shown great promise overseas.
Akyol was not a huge presence on Efes Pilsen in the Euroleague, logging only garbage minutes, but in Under-18 competition, he has been flat out dominant.
A few more years overseas and the Hawks are expected to have a great player on their hands.
At age 19, Akyol is the second youngest member of his team, which features NBA star Mehmet Okur, recent Bucks signee and 2005 draftee Ersan Ilyasova and Turkish basketball legend Ibrahim Kutluay, who played five NBA games with the Sonics in 2004-2005.

I wonder if he'll get some minutes in the World championships
