Another week, another installment of the Transatlantic Tracker, a regular feature on Sixers.com that provides updates on the five players competing internationally whose rights are held by the team. In this installment, we’ll focus on three standout performers from that group: Dario Saric, Jordan McRae, and Furkan Aldemir.

In a 67-64 loss to Unics Kazan on Thursday, Dario Saric logged 25 minutes and notched 13 points (5/9 FG), nine rebounds, one assist, and one steal. His 56.8 effective field-goal percentage is second amongst active players on his team and his 15.8 rebounding percentage leads Anadolu Efes outright. Through nine games, the 20-year-old is averaging 11.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 22.0 minutes per game.

Saric and Efes are back in action against TED Kolejliler on Monday.

Jordan McRae continues to light it up offensively in the Australian National Basketball League, averaging 22.4 points per game on 46.9% shooting. Against the New Zealand Breakers on Friday, he put up 24 points and went 8-of-20 from the floor, 2-of-3 from deep, and 6-of-6 from the line; he also pulled down six rebounds, dished out two assists, and notched two steals and a block.

Through nine games, he’s averaging 22.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.0 blocks in 30.8 per game.

Furkan Aldemir is one of the best rebounders in all of international basketball, and his numbers for Galatasaray this season are a testament to his proficiency on the glass. In 10 games, he’s averaging 8.5 points (65.3 FG%) and 9.6 rebounds per game despite only playing 23.6 minutes per game. Most impressively, 46.9% of his rebounds come on the offensive end (6.9 OREB/36 minutes).

On Wednesday, Aldemir was asked to describe his shot-blocking method (he averages 1.4 per 36 minutes). He compared it to a work of fine art. Really.

If you’re wondering why Arsalan Kazemi hasn’t been featured in the last two installments of the Transatlantic Tracker, it’s because he hasn’t played since November 5. According to Andrew Crawford of Shark Fin Hoops, Kazemi’s Chinese Basketball Association team, Chongqing Fly Dragon, didn't properly register his visa, and he was forced to leave the country. He’s back now and should return to action shortly. Expect updates.
