Timeline
Ömer Faruk Aşık (born July 4, 1986) is a Turkish former professional basketball player who last played for the Chicago Bulls of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Aşık, standing at 7ft 0in, was sought after by many of the top Euroleague basketball teams at the age of 19.
Aşık got his first chance playing professionally with the Turkish Basketball League team Fenerbahçe in 2005–06.
Aşık was first signed by Fenerbahçe in 2005.
He only played two games before being loaned for the 2005–06 season to FMV Işık Spor Kulübü, in the 2nd division.
Fenerbahçe didn't have room on the roster for Aşık and needed his in-game development to continue.
He signed for the 2006–07 season by Alpella.
He averaged 10.75 points and 11.25 rebounds over 40 games playing for Alpella.
Leaving Alpella in December 2007, he resumed the season signing with Fenerbahçe for a second time.
At Fenerbahçe, Aşık averaged 7.8 points and 6.1 rebounds during the 2007–08 and 2008–09 seasons.
With the help of Aşık in the 2007–08 season, Fenerbahçe won the Turkish championship.
He was destined to be a superstar but in 2008 he tore his ACL and didn't play for six months.
When he returned, Aşık was creating havoc in the Turkish League, but he broke his collar-bone and didn't play for two months.
After his recovery, Fenerbahçe tried to make him sign a new contract and held him out of the team until he signed.
Aşık didn't give in and sat out the rest of the season.
He was also a two-time All-Star for Fenerbahçe in 2008 and 2009.
Aşık was drafted with the 36th overall pick by the Portland Trail Blazers in the 2008 NBA draft and immediately traded to the Chicago Bulls in a three-team deal.
Aşık helped the Rockets to a 45–37 record and the team made the playoffs for the first time since the 2008–09 NBA season.
After one season with Alpella, Aşık moved back to Fenerbahçe and eventually ended his Turkish club career with them in 2009–10.
He gained recognition playing for the Turkey national team at the 2010 FIBA World Championship, and as the starting center, he helped Turkey win the silver medal.
In July 2010, Aşık signed with the Chicago Bulls.
He was nicknamed "The Turkish Hammer" and "Asik the Destroyer" by Bulls commentator Stacey King.
On July 13, 2010, Aşık was signed to a two-year deal with the Chicago Bulls.
On October 27, 2010, Aşık made his regular-season debut for the Bulls in their first game of the season, a road game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Aşık earned more and more minutes as the season went on and eventually became one of the first players off the bench in the Bulls' playoff run.
In the post-season, he suffered a fractured left fibula.
Aşık recovered from his injury suffered during the 2011 playoffs.
After starting in only two regular season games in 2011–12, Aşık moved into the starting lineup after Joakim Noah was injured in game 3 of the Bulls' first-round series against Philadelphia 76ers.
In the sixth and final game, Aşık missed two free throws in the last minute, allowing Philadelphia to take the lead and win the series.
Throughout the game, however, Aşık had played well above his season averages, with 10 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks (vs. 3.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1 block per game).
On July 20, 2012, Aşık signed an offer sheet with the Houston Rockets, reportedly worth $25.1 million for three years.
Since Aşık was a restricted free agent, the Bulls could have matched Houston's offer, but decided not to do so and he officially joined the Rockets on July 24.
On January 18, 2013, he set a career high for points with 22 in a loss to the Indiana Pacers and tied it on April 1, 2013, in a win against the Orlando Magic.
Aşık had a breakout season, becoming the Rockets' starting center, averaging career highs averages of 10.1 points, 11.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 30.0 minutes per game.
His 956 total rebound count led the league in that category.
With the Rockets' 2013 off-season acquisition of Dwight Howard, Aşık role was dramatically reduced.
After the Rockets initially started the 2013–14 season with Howard at power forward and Aşık at center, coach Kevin McHale eventually changed the team's game style, and Aşık was moved to the bench in favor of up-and-coming forward, Terrence Jones.
In December 2013, Aşık injured his knee and was out for two months.
In just 48 games in 2013–14, Aşık averaged 5.8 points and 7.9 rebounds per game.
On July 15, 2014, Aşık was traded to the New Orleans Pelicans in a three-team trade that also involved the Rockets and the Washington Wizards.
