Cenk Akyol, in the states
Remember our late seond round pick, not far back?
From Draftexpress:
Quote:
“Cenk Akyol, Atlanta Hawks - is also in the States right now, working out with renowned trainer Tim Grover in Chicago. Grover seems to like him a lot .., talking extensively about how well he shoots the ball, but also about his toughness, coachability, and the fact that “he’s a lot more athletic than people give him credit for.” Grover told us that he thinks Akyol should be able to make Atlanta’s roster and be effective for them, reminding us that he’s only 20 years old at the moment.
The Hawks will be going to watch Akyol play later this week before he heads back to Turkey to join the national team in preparation for the European Championship in Spain starting in September. He’s reportedly only looking for a minimum contract, and would be amenable to being sent down to the D-League as well if he was asked to.”
Since he’s asking for a minimum contract, I think the Hawks will have him, and it seems like a right choice.
Givony finishes “They very well could have gotten a steal with the recommendation their international scout Mark Crow made in the late 2nd round.”
