Yigitcan Saybir

Another young wing from Efes team is Yiğitcan Saybir. Saybir was the MVP of the first evet BGL Final-Four last year, dominating the glass and slashing inside with much improved motor and involvement. Lefty with great wingspan, he still needs to get stronger in order to cope with experience players in Euroleague. It is very hard to see him play much in the competition due to as he has 3 guys in front of him in the rotation.

YAGITCAN SAYBIR (6’7, Forward, Anadolu Efes)

Turkish prospect was not a player with high popularity until the last two years. In loaded Anadolu Efes youth rosters, behind the ones like Onuralp Bitim, Muhaymin Mustafa, Saybir was a little under the radar beyond these players. He started to step up while Onuralp Bitim was in US, and showed premises of what he can do then and in the future. His constant good effort in the last U18 European Championship, Saybir was a vital part of the team that reached as far as the semi-final. 6’7 player can play both forward position and has the quickness to be able to play as small forward in senior team competition. As a lefty, his improved outside shooting dramatically increased his stock in the last couple of years. Was not a big part of U17 World Championship silver medal finish but he came to Slovakia as a much better player with more responsibility. His mental attributes are also impressed many as he plays with lot of energy and effort in every available circumstance.
