Penn State's latest European import brings needed versatility to basketball roster
Penn State's latest European import brings needed versatility to basketball roster Penn State adds versatile European import to basketball roster Penn State men's basketball head coach Mike Rhoades has been busy trying to fill out his roster for the upcoming college basketball season. On Friday, he officially added a European import with the signing of Melih Tunca from Turkey. Tunca is a six-foot guard who is regarded as one of the top professional players in Turkey. He is coming off a 2024-25 season in which he was named the Young Player of the Regular Season with Turk Telekom in the Turkish Basketball Super League. He averaged 6.7 points per game and 2.2 assists per game in 30 games played last season. "Melih is a versatile guard we are excited to have in our family,: Rhoades said in a released statement on Friday. "He has size and length that we love, with the ability to make plays and shots. Melih really fits our style of play on both ends. " Rhoades will hope to rely on Tunca's versatility and experience as he puts together a roster with a number of holes to fill after some roster turnover from last season. Penn State is set to welcome six freshmen to the roster this season in addition to some transfer additions like Josh Reed from Cincinnati. "His vast international playing experience will have him ready to impact our program,' Rhoades said of Tunca. It will certainly be needed. Penn State is coming off a 16-15 season that ended without a postseason tournament appearance. The Nittany Lions went just 6-14 in Big Ten play and failed to be included in the Big Ten men's basketball tournament.
