Baris Hersek - EuroBasket 2009 Profile

Team 2008-09: DARÜŞŞAFAKA COOPER TIRES (Turkey-TBL)
Career: Efes Pilsen (Turkey-TBL 2006-08), Darüşşafaka Cooper Tires (Turkey-TBL, 2008-09)

A rare talent gifted by basketball gods. At cadet and junior levels he was labelled as the new Turkoglu, and though he definitely has the tools to become one, he lacks the mental toughness and understanding to make the leap into stardom. Despite his young age he had some problems with coaches and teammates. But last season with Efes Pilsen's development team Darüşşafaka showed signs of growing up, and what a welcome sight that is. Like Turkoglu he is a decent ballhandler and has a nice outside game. He tends to avoid contact and sometimes makes ill-advised decisions but this is the time for him to grow up. We'll see how far he has come.
