Khem Birch, physical prowess for Fenerbahçe
Khem Birch lands in Istanbul and is already thinking about debuting with Fenerbahçe.
The widely talked about signings of Cedi Osman and Evan Fournier in the Euroleague have raised alarms for the other teams that do not want to fall behind in the title race. So much so that Fenerbahçe will likely decide to release the recently arrived Luka Samanic (who has gone to Croatia for personal reasons) and add Khem Birch, a veteran center with NBA experience from Basquet Girona, to the team.
Khem Birch has played for teams like the Orlando Magic, Toronto Raptors, and San Antonio Spurs. His extensive experience in the North American league, physical ability for rebounding, and defensive skills make him a reliable addition for the Istanbul team.
The Canadian center, who already saw minutes in the Euroleague with Olympiacos in the 16/17 season and participated in the Paris Olympics (3.3 points and 2.5 rebounds in 4 games), is the key piece that orchestra director Sarunas Jasikevicius needs to handle the dirty work under the boards and help Fenerbahçe tip the balance in their favor in the final minutes of the Euroleague.
Saras' squad boasts stars like Wade Baldwin, Scottie Wilbekin, Marko Guduric, Artur Zagars, Nigel Hayes-Davis, Bronzie Colson, Sertac Sanli, Nicolo Melli, and now, Khem Birch. Undoubtedly, the team has reinforced itself to compete for everything, and they will be a force to be reckoned with this season.
