Vernon Macklin will sign with Gaziantep of Turkey, according to his agent Greg Nunn.
Macklin played just 5.9 minutes per night and it took him until late April to see double-digit minutes in a game last year. The Florida Gator will obviously get more playing time in Turkey and perhaps he can work his way back into the NBA. Sun, Aug 19, 2012 04:42:00 PM

Vernon Macklin - F - Pistons

Unrestricted FA Vernon Macklin is reportedly drawing interest from the Nets, Suns, Bucks, Blazers and Lakers.

Macklin also has two offers from Greece and Turkey as well, but it sounds like he'll try to stay in the NBA. Macklin is an unrestricted free agent after the Pistons chose not to extend a qualifying contract offer, but the 2011 second-round draft pick torched the D-League last season with averages of 16.6 points and 17.2 rebounds. He should be able to find work as frontline depth somewhere, but he may find a more lucrative contract overseas.

Vernon Macklin - F - Pistons

The Pistons did not extend a qualifying contract offer to Vernon Macklin, making him an unrestricted free agent.

Macklin will reportedly still play for the Pistons' summer league team, but teams in need of a big man will likely be willing to roll the dice on Macklin. The No. 52 overall pick of the 2011 draft averaged 14.5 points and 14.3 rebounds in the D-League this season.

Vernon Macklin - F - Pistons

Vernon Macklin will likely start at power forward or center for the Pistons during Summer League.

Macklin tore up the D-League in 10 games, averaging 14.5 points, 14.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steal and 0.9 blocks before being recalled by Detroit. He has a long way to go before garnering interest in standard fantasy leagues.

Vernon Macklin went scoreless in 15 minutes on Thursday.

Macklin had eight points, nine boards, and a block on Wednesday and failed to build on the performance tonight. He has no value in fantasy leagues at this time.

Vernon Macklin - F - Pistons

Vernon Macklin will be active on Wednesday against the Hawks.

Macklin torched the D-League this season, but he hasn't played for the Pistons since March 3 and hasn't topped 10 minutes in a game this season. He could see some run down the stretch, but it's highly unlikely he'll work himself onto the fantasy radar.

Vernon Macklin - F - Pistons

Vernon Macklin will see some playing time before the season ends.

Macklin spent the majority of the season in the D-League where he tore it up with averages of 16.6 points and 17.2 rebounds, so Lawrence Frank wants to get a look at what he can do before the season ends. He's not a fantasy option.

Vernon Macklin will return from the D-League when the season ends in the beginning of April.
