Aldemir competed in three summer league games and averaged 5.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, 2.7 blocks, and 5.0 fouls in 30 minutes per contest.
Aldemir was exempt from the Las Vegas Summer League circuit, but he showcased his new three-point shot in Salt Lake City. An accomplished rebounder and screen setter, Aldemir attempted seven three-pointers during the tournament, two more than he launched his entire rookie season. The 23-year-old Turkish sophomore has been working on extending his range since signing with the Sixers last December, a necessity given his physical limitations. Aldemir is still a faulty fantasy commodity, as he must first prove he can consistently hit the outside shot and siphon minutes from Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor.

Aldemir has attempted more three-pointers in the first two summer league games than he did his entire rookie season.
Aldemir has hit 3-of-6 attempts from deep, an improvement from his 0-of-5 display in 41 games last season. Hitting three-pointers will earn anyone minutes in the rotation; he just needs to prove that two days worth of data isn't a fluke. With the Sixers' frontcourt depth, it's difficult to project meaningful minutes in Aldemir's sophomore season.

Aldemir has started both summer league games at power forward for the 76ers, averaging 5.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.5 blocks, 1.0 assist, and 0.5 steals in 29 minutes per game.
Aldemir has played solid basketball thus far in the summer league. He exploded in Tuesday's game with the Celtics, racking up 14 rebounds and three blocks. Alongside his defensive outburst, Aldemir scored 11 points and, surprisingly enough, went 3-of-5 from three-point territory. If he can continue this type of production on both sides of the ball, Aldemir could see an increase in minutes in the upcoming season on a young, unproven 76ers' roster. Jahlil Okafor and Nerlens Noel should get the bulk of the Sixers' frontcourt minutes next season, but if Joel Embiid (foot) is unable to play, Aldemir could be in line to serve as the primary backup in the frontcourt.

Aldemir averaged 2.3 points, 0.7 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 0.4 steals, and 0.4 blocks in 13 minutes per game for 41 regular season games in 2014-15.
Aldemir came from overseas and formally joined the 76ers in December. He mostly came off the bench, but got to start in April, as the team allowed its younger players to gain experience. Until Joel Embiid fully recovers from his surgery, Aldemir will be able to get minutes at center and possibly slide into the starting lineup. The 23-year-old isn't a real fantasy asset yet, but he'll have the chance to get solid minutes on a depleted 76ers roster in 2015-16.
Sun Mar 29 201520:34Aldemir will likely start at center for rest of season
Aldemir will likely start at center for the rest of the season, The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Speaking after Sunday's loss to the Cavaliers, 76ers coach Brett Brown said he wants to start Aldemir next to Nerlens Noel for the rest of the season. Making just his second start of the year, the Turkish rookie had 11 points and 10 boards in a career-high 27 minutes Sunday afternoon. While Aldemir will likely have a hard time matching those numbers in the coming days, he should be an excellent source of rebounds if he consistently gets minutes in the mid-20s or higher.

Aldemir got his first NBA start a couple games ago, but was moved back to the bench for the Sixers' last game, where he never actually got onto the court. When he did start, Aldemir only got 19 minutes, so fantasy players should avoid using Aldemir in both daily and season long leagues even though he's getting another start.

Aldemir moved back to the bench against the Raptors on Friday and was ultimately never called into action.
Aldemir enjoyed his first-career start Friday against the Knicks but still only played 19 minutes without recording any points. His outlook is pretty bleak, especially now that he's back on the bench, and his limited ownership across all formats should be representative of that notion.

Aldemir made the first start of his career against the Knicks on Wednesday, although he only played 19 minutes and produced just five rebounds and three blocks.
The Sixers are dealing with numerous injuries that allowed the limited Aldemir to start Wednesday. At 23-years-old, the rookie has never scored more than four points over 16 appearances this season and is barely a viable option in the deepest of leagues.
Wed Jan 21 201517:41Aldemir will make first NBA start Wednesday against Knicks
Aldemir will make his first NBA start Wednesday against the Knicks, Tom Moore of Calkins Media reports.
With Nerlens Noel (illness) and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (knee) both sitting out, Aldemir will get the starting nod in what will be his 16th career NBA game. The Turkey native has seen his playing time vacillate since signing with the Sixers in mid-December, but he's averaging 4.1 rebounds in just 11.1 minutes this month. Aldemir's offensive game is still very much a work in progress, however, so he's best avoided in most formats.

Aldemir (foot) was available for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, but played just five minutes and didn't score a single point.
Aldemir had missed the past three games with plantar fasciitis. He's only appeared in two games now this season, and likely won't have a big enough role on the 76ers to be a viable fantasy option.
Fri Dec 26 201421:00Aldemir (foot) will be available against Trail Blazers on Friday
Aldemir (foot) will be available against the Trail Blazers on Friday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Aldemir missed three straight games due to plantar fasciitis but appears to be good enough to give it a go Friday. He has played in just one game this season, however, logging two points, two rebounds and one assist in ten minutes. He likely won't see enough minutes to be a viable fantasy option in most leagues.

Aldemir (foot) is a game-time decision for Friday's contest against Portland, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Aldemir has missed Philadelphia's past three games with plantar fasciitis and will likely make a decision on whether or not to play after the team engages in pregame warmups. If he can't take the court Friday, his next opportunity to make a comeback will be against the Jazz on Saturday.
Tue Dec 23 201411:42Aldemir (foot) will not play Tuesday against Heat
Aldemir (foot) will not play Tuesday against the Heat, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Aldemir will remain out of action for the third straight game as he battles plantar fasciitis. The recently signed rookie out of Turkey has appeared in only one game since signing on Dec. 14.

After recently signing with Sixers, Aldemir has not been able to get on the practice court. Even if he does get healthy though, he does not figure to have much fantasy value this season.

Aldemir (foot) did not practice Thursday and is unlikely to play Friday, Tom Moore of Calkins Media reports.
Aldemir, who signed with the Sixers last week, is already battling plantar fasciitis and will probable sit out Friday versus Charlotte. The Turkish import is unlikely to have much of a fantasy impact this season.
Wed Dec 17 201414:12Aldemir limited in Wednesday's practice
Aldemir was limited in Wednesday's practice, Tom Moore of Calkins Media reports.
Aldemire participated in most the session but sat out near the end with soreness in his right heel. The team hasn't indicated if the issue will affect his status for Friday's matchup with Charlotte, but the recently signed forward isn't likely to be much of a fantasy contributor.
Mon Dec 15 201417:33Aldemir will play Monday against Celtics
Aldemir will play Monday against the Celtics, Tom Moore of Calkins Media reports.
The recently signed Turkish big man's visa issues are behind him, as he joined the 76ers Sunday and will be available Monday. Coach Brett Brown's rotations have been difficult to predict this season, given the organization's state, so it's best to take a wait-and-see approach with Aldemir, as far as evaluating him from a fantasy perspective.
Sun Dec 14 201416:28Aldemir will sign four-year
Aldemir will sign a four-year, $12 million deal with the Celtcs on Sunday, Marc Stein of ESPN reports.
The deal, which is guaranteed for the first two years, is expected to be finalized soon, and Aldemir should join the Sixers within the next week. It was reported three weeks ago that Aldemir would sign with Philadelphia, but the Turkey native had some visa issues, which are now in the rear view mirror. In order to make room for Aldemir on the roster, the Sixers waived Ronald Roberts on Sunday.
Mon Nov 24 201422:57Aldemir expected to sign four-year deal with Sixers and join tea...
Aldemir is expected to sign a four-year deal with the Sixers and join the team soon, the Intelligencer reports.
Aldemir's draft rights have been held by the Sixers since July of 2013. They obtained his draft rights as compensation for taking on the contract of Royce White. Through six games with Galatasaray in Europe this season, Aldemir averaged 7.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 21 minutes per game. Given the fact that the Sixers have about half an inch worth of depth behind Nerlens Noel in their frontcourt, it's possible that Aldemir could carve out a role that is fantasy relevant shortly after joining the team. He could be on the active roster before next week.
