Good news are coming from Turkey. Ilkan Karaman ('90) -at the pic-, from Tofas, and Birkan Batuk ('90), from Karsiyaka, have been big surprises on last round of turkish league. Both teams won with good performances of both prospects. Karaman helped his team in the victory over Oyak Renault (77-74) with 16 points (7/9 FG), 4 rebounds and 2 assists in only 22 minutes. 

At the other side Karsiyaka beat Kepez (88-76) with Batuk hitting 12 points and grabbing 5 rebounds. The 1.98 forward averaged 4.6 points and 3.8 rebounds in last U-20 European Championship at Rhodes. Karaman made 9.8+5.2 in the same tournament.
