The Oregon Ducks’ men’s basketball team is coming off their most successful campaign in a half-decade, but that isn’t stopping them from bolstering the roster. The one major flaw with the team is with just one player taller than 6-foot-9, the team just doesn’t have enough size.
That is about to change after Jon Chepkevich of Draft Express reported that big man Ege Demir has committed to Oregon. He stands at 6-foot-11 and has a 7-foot-3 wingspan, which should mean a nightmare for opponents to deal with in the paint on both ends.
Demir played professionally in Turkey for the last two seasons where he didn’t produce much, but anyone playing professionally at his age is overly talented. Now, playing against perceived worse competition in college, Demir should get the chance to prove what he didn’t get to display in Turkey.
The 20-year-old will aim to help the Ducks improve on a wildly impressive season.
