76ers waive Furkan Aldemir

The Philadelphia 76ers waived forward/center Furkan Aldemir.

What It Means:

Despite Aldemir's guaranteed contract worth almost $3 million, the 76ers have decided to move on from the 24 year-old from Turkey.

Serving mostly as a bench player last season, Aldemir averaged 6.2 points and 11.7 rebounds per 36 minutes. Our algorithms projected him to score just 66 points and collect 85 rebounds in 47 games this season. It's likely that his time in the NBA will be put on pause this season while he plays overseas.
