Dont think he will ever wear a Hawk's uni.

[bonethugz]

an assist for a point guard in a game?

[BigDirty]

He is NOT a point guard, never was, never will be. He's a SG/SF.

I believe he does want to play in the NBA and he's still young enough to improve his game. I'm impressed with the numbers from this game - which are much better than any game he played last year.

He is NOT a point guard, never was, never will be. He's a SG/SF.

never seen him play a single minute. i remember seeing him listed as a point guard/shooting guard from some scout report. i only remember him as our late 2nd round pick from overseas. and he's pretty good, i heard/hope.

First Euroleague game, Efes won 61-60 against Partizan. Cenk played 15 min, made 6 pts (1-2 2fg, 1-3 3fg, 1-2 ft), 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 steal.

Stephane Lasme had 11 pts, 14 reb and 4 blk for Partizan, not bad.

People forget Cenk is just 21...but he's got a lot to prove this season.

Unfortunately, those aren't very good numbers for Cenk. It doesn't look like he's an NBA-level player.

In terms of where he was chosen in that draft it wasn't a bad gamble though.

Efes (1-0) won 81-71 at AJ Milano (0-1). Cenk played 10 minutes and made 2 points (1-1 2fg, 0-2 3fg), not a good game by him.

Efes (1-1) won at Mutlu Akü Selcuk Üniv. (1-1) with 81-73. Cenk played 5 minutes had an assist and a steal. After the first game of the season I thought that Cenk might prove me wrong about him, but now it seems his game is back to his usual standard.

I think you should go to a lesser team and try to be the man there.

They don't even use him in Euroleague games anymore.
