When he arrived as an unknown in the middle of the 2007-08 season, it's fair to say that Fenerbahce Ulker center Omer Asik took the Euroleague by storm. His first full phase was that season's Top 16, during which he averaged more blocks, 3.2 per game, than any Euroleague player in any phase of the competition in the previous five years! What's more, his 20-minute-per-game contribution helped lift Fenerbahce to the Quarterfinal Playoffs, still its high-water mark in the competition. While answering your Fan Mail this week, Asik recalled that fast Euroleague start among the highlights of his young career, even as he promised that he and his Fenerbahce teammates were ready to push for even more success. "As a team, we have a desire to be in the Final Four," Asik said in one answer. "The thing is that, sometimes being a quality team is not always enough to be a success. For this reason, we know that we have to act together as a team, and then it will not be impossible for us to reach our goals."
