Asik split 30 games last year with Alpella and Fenerbahce, where he averaged 10.2 ppg, 8.3 rpg, a league-high 1.90 bpg and 1.90 spg. In 2007-08 Euroleague action, he set a league record for blocked shots in six games with 19 rejections. Â
The Chicago Bulls then acquired the draft rights to center Omer Asik in a three-team deal with the Portland Trail Blazers and the Denver Nuggets.
The 2007-2008 season champions, the Boston Celtics, selected fellow Fenerbahce Ulker, center Semih Erden with the draft’s 60th pick.
