3 fouls in 19 minutes, but has nice boarding and blocking stats

leave him in turkey till this team is ready to rebuild... lets say for 4 years when he's 26... then bring him over.

He was a very promising prospect 2 years ago. But he didn't develop his game much since then and it's doubtful that he'll ever be good enough to come in. I'll present an analysis on him tomorrow.

Where are the "He's a soft Euro" comments?  ;D

On a more serious note, if he should make
the team, I'm certain our Turkish fanbase
will explode. The more, the merrier.

Turks aren't generally soft

I like the Erden selection. He got some good reviews at the Euro camp where a couple of reporters called him the best big there after the first day. I think he tailed off from there but he showed some talent. He had a few post moves and was generally aggressive in the paint. He had very good size and he used it well beating his teammate (Omer Asik) easily.

Erden should be an interesting potential addition whenever he comes over
