Sixers' Bryan Colangelo to watch draft pick Furkan Korkmaz play

The 76ers president will watch 2016 selection Furkan Korkmaz play in the Basketball Champions League final four.

The 76ers concluded the regular season two weeks ago, and president Bryan Colangelo hasn't thought about relaxing.

Colangelo attended Tuesday's EuroLeague playoff game between Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz and CSKA Moscow in Vitoria, Spain. CSKA's roster includes Serbian standout Milos Teodosic, a 6-foot-5 point guard whom ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla calls the best passer in the world.

In addition to scouting talent, Colangelo will watch shooting guard Furkan Korkmaz play in the Basketball Champions League semifinals on Friday and Sunday in Tenerife, Spain. The Sixers selected Korkmaz with the 26th overall pick in the 2016 draft. The Turkish player remained in Europe because he could not get out of his contract with Anadolu Efes of the Turkish Super Basketball League.

Teodosic, 30, doesn't have to worry about buyouts. He will become an unrestricted free agent this summer and is interested in playing in the NBA. Brooklyn Nets general manager Sean Marks and coach Kenny Atkinson scouted him this past week while in Moscow to meet with Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov. Brooklyn and the Denver Nuggets reportedly are interested in signing him to a free-agent deal.

"He's the best passer in the world, from a purely offensive standpoint," Fraschilla told the New York Post. "Chris Paul is a Hall of Famer, but as far as a pure passer, [Teodosic] might be the most creative passer in the world today. Now, he will not guard a chair, but he's a brilliant offensive player and an ultra-competitor."

Tuesday's game featured another free-agent candidate in Baskonia point guard Shane Larkin. Larkin was selected 18th overall by the Atlanta Hawks in the 2013 NBA draft. He was traded that night to the Dallas Mavericks and also had stints with the New York Knicks and the Nets. Larkin signed a one-year deal with Baskonia in August. The 24-year-old could make an NBA roster as a third-string point guard.

Last summer, Korkmaz could not afford the $2 million buyout from his contract with Anadolu Efes. NBA teams are allowed to pay up to $650,000 toward a buyout. The 6-8 Korkmaz will be under contract with the Turkish team for the 2017-18 season, but a buyout could be more doable this summer.

Right now, he's on loan from Efes to play for Banvit, another Turkish team. Banvit will face AS Monaco on Friday in Spain and the winner will advance to the final on Sunday.

Banvit plays in the Turkish and the Basketball Champions leagues.

Korkmaz, a reserve, averaged 8.4 points and shot 34.4 percent from three-point land in 16 Turkish games with Banvit. Meanwhile, he averaged 10.9 points and shot 50 percent on three-pointers in eight BCL games.

D-League standouts

Sixers rookies Shawn Long and Alex Poythress garnered NBA Development League honors. Long was a second-team all-D-League selection and Poythress made the all-rookie team.

Long played for the Delaware 87ers, the Sixers' D-League affiliate, before being called up on March 6. Poythress was a member of the Fort Wayne Mad Ants before joining the Sixers on April 2. He'll become a restricted free agent in July.
