In its first player move for next season, Efes Pilsen and veteran guard Kerem Tunceri have agreed to a new two-year contract with a third-year option. One of the emblematic players for Efes over the years, Tunceri (32 years old, 1.90 meters) tied for third among all Turkish Airlines Euroleague players in free throw accuracy (93.75%, 30-for-32) over 16 games last season. He was also among the competition's best 15 players in both assists (3.5 per game) and three-point accuracy (41%) in 16 games last season. He led Efes in all three of those categories, while scoring the team's second-most points (145) and three-pointers (23). Tunceri had played four seasons for Efes between 200 and 2004, and with the new contract can match or exceed that total in this, his second stint with the club, which started in 2009. He has also played in the Euroleague for Ulker and Real Madrid, with whom he won the 2007 Eurocup title. Tunceri finished last season with his highest scoring average, 9.1 points, in his seven Euroleague seasons while posting his best three-point accuracy ever, too. |
