Can Ozcan was the main compliment for Dogus Balbay when it came to scoring points. Displaying a nice combination of size and shooting ability, he’s a clear-cut small forward at 6-8, with limited athleticism, but still enjoying nice mobility to evolve on the court. He can easily put the ball on the floor and attack the basket going both ways. He’s a pretty tough guy, and can go all the way to the basket (being able to finish with both hands), but his average athleticism doesn’t always allow him to beat his match-up. So the most usual strategy for him is to stop at some point off the dribble to deliver his mid-range shot, sometimes even with a fade-away; or he can also force the drive in order to get as close as possible to the basket and then use his superior size to score over his opponent. Still, he’s primarily a shooter, especially a three-point shooter, a bit streaky, but who usually displays solid accuracy when he’s left open. Actually, he often relies on his perimeter stroke excessively and forgets about other offensive options. Not a bad defender, he’s not the quickest guy around when it comes to moving laterally.

U-19 World Championship Review: Forwards

Playing for a rather disappointing Turkish team, Can Ozcan was one of the most interesting players. Born in 1989, this 6-8 small forward with a past at the power forward position, brings to the table a very nice perimeter stroke, even in off-the-dribble mode. Also able to put the ball on the floor, if not a great one-on-one player, he can take advantage of unbalanced defenses to attack the rim.
