Dario Saric 99-Percent Going To 76ers, Per Turkish Paper
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- For the third summer in a row, Sixers fans are praying it's finally time Turkish forward Dario Saric comes to Philadelphia.
Saric, the 2014 12th-overall pick of the Sixers, has spent the past two seasons playing for the Anadolu Efes in Istanbul, Turkey. Earlier reports have indicated that Saric is ready play in the NBA in 2016.
According to this tweet on Wednesday, Saric told a Croatian newspaper that he is 99-percent going to Philadelphia.
Last week, Sixers head coach Brett Brown and president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo visited Saric in Turkey.
"The discussion, the dialogue, it was very impressive, and I know that whenever he does come over, he's going to be an asset for us," Colangelo said via the Sixers' website. "We're prepared to do what is necessary on our part to make that happen."
Dario Saric averaged 12.6 points and 4.5 rebounds per game during his team's playoff run in the Turkish Basketball Super League.
