According to European journalist Orazio Francesco Cauchi, Turkish League giant Fenerbahce is pursuing Richaun Holmes, who is currently in free agency. In the coming hours, Fenerbahce will accelerate the negotiation process and strive to finalize the details of the contract with Homs.

Homes was born in October 1993 and is 31 years old, 206cm tall and weighs 107kg. He is the inside player selected by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 37th pick in the second round in the 2015 NBA Draft. Holmes played for the Philadelphia 76ers, the Sacramento Kings, the Dallas Mavericks and the Washington Wizards in the NBA. He has played 489 games in the NBA regular season, averaging 19.1 minutes per game, averaging 8.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.5 steals and 0.9 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. He has shot 60.5% from the field, 26.9% from three-point shooting percentage and 75.1% from free throws. Holmes once performed well with the Kings, but in recent seasons, his performance has also declined to a certain extent, and his number of appearances and his position in the team are constantly declining.

In the NBA regular season last season, Holmes made a total of 31 appearances for his Wizards, averaging 17.2 minutes per game, averaging 7.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.7 blocks, as well as 0.7 turnovers and 1.6 fouls, shooting percentage of 64.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 0%, and free throw shooting percentage of 83.3%. Holmes actually didn't have many opportunities to play last season. He couldn't get enough playing time in most games, and his performance in the games he played was also average. However, Holmes' offensive efficiency is still good, and he can also create certain threats in the opponent's interior. His ability in passing and supporting has improved some. It's just that due to the unstable playing time, it's really difficult for him to maintain a high level in this situation.

The Wizards just chose to cut off Holmes, who holds a non-guaranteed contract, and so far, he has not received a contract from the NBA team, which also shows that his market conditions are not ideal. In addition, he is over 30 years old, so it is probably difficult for him to maintain his condition at a higher level. In this case, choosing to leave the NBA arena, go to Europe to develop and join a giant team like Fenerbahce is actually a good choice. I don't know if Holmes will consider accepting a offer from Fenerbahce in the next step and will appear in the overseas league for the first time in his career.
