FC Barcelona Basketball recruits Turkish scout and youth prospect

FC Barcelona's basketball department is strengthening its technical and youth structures with two key Turkish additions.

Kuzey Kiliç, 26, has been appointed as the head of scouting and data analysis. Kiliç brings international experience from roles at Fenerbahce, Zenit Saint Petersburg, and Dubai BC. He joins the technical staff under sporting director Xevi Pujol and head coach Aleksander Sekulic to modernize the club's talent identification processes.

Additionally, the club has signed 16-year-old Yigit Okur to its youth academy, La Masia. The 2.03-meter forward, who recently competed in the Eurobasket U-16 with Turkey, is the son of former NBA All-Star Mehmet Okur. Okur is expected to continue his development within Barcelona's youth ranks following a strong performance in recent international competition.
