Nothing about the NCAA suspension, but an interesting article about Balbay becoming a basketball player in Turkey and how he came to the attention of Barnes.

Excellent article. We're really going to need him this year.

Apparently he was first noticed by Dave Babcock of the Milwaukee Bucks, who contacted Barnes about him. Isn't his son taking over Chris Ogden's old job this year?

I think its the son of the GM in Minnesota

 

[Bob in Houston]

What is remarkable about that is where recruiting connections come from.

So what NCAA suspension?

He sat on the bench for a Turkish pro team. So NCAA had to let him know they mean business.
