PEKER, Kaya
STRENGTHS: Modern inside player, can play either the 4 or 5 position. Has made a lot of progress as the years have passed. Managed to get the best out of his potential. Great combination of size and athleticism. Big and powerful guy, does not shy away from the physical battles, plays with intensity. He runs the floor with fluidity and can jump. Possesses a decent technique and a good mid-range shot. Very clever in freeing himself from the defense to get open. Takes his responsibility. WEAKNESSES: Not a big talent nor a top scorer. On offense, he relies too much on his physical strength. Still much work to be done on his perimeter game, especially in terms of shooting. His fundamentals are unrefined, would benefit from working on his dribbling and passing skills. His body control in restricted spaces is below average. Sometimes uses his body strength too much causing him to exaggerate and lose his concentration. CAREER: Emerged at a very young age with the Karsiyaka team. He was already averaging near to double figures before his 20th birthday. Signed early for Efes with whom he’s played for years, first as a beginner but then having more and more of an impact as the years went by. Had a spell in Vitoria, Spain, and BEsiktas before moving back to Efes. Signed for archrivals Fenerbahce, in 2010. EVALUATION: Very interesting front-line player. Has played very well in the past but now he has very little margin for improvement left. He has not become a super star as he has obvious talent limitations but he still proved to be an important big man for great European teams like Efes, Vitoria and Fener.
