Panathinaikos and Maccabi Tel Aviv made offers, Olympiacos is also interested on his case and Khem Birtch is suddenly one of the hottest names in the European market. However, Usak Sportif is not interested in selling him.
Quality big man are a hot commodity in Euroleague, undersized centers are a need for any club aiming high and the 23rd years old Canadian, despite his 2,06 m. of height is wanted by many. Birtch is one of the stand outs of the Turkish BSL league, he played in the recent All Star Game and of course he is the anchor of Usak’s roster. That’s why the Turkish club has denied the offers which were made and Birtch is expected to finish the season in Turkey.
