OUTLOOK
Fenerbahçe player İsmail Karabilen has been able to show his capacity in several European competitions so far, has to potential to be a solid player in Europe. What is intriguing about him is his passing from the center position. Still growing and still needs to grow a bit more to be a real center position candidate. Biggest weakness of him is his mental focus on games, he tends to get angry real quick on the court and can’t play with the same focus level at every game. If he can grow his mentality as well, no reason for him not being able to play at professional level.
