Miami Heat FA: Should Omer Yurtseven Be Given A Standard Contract?
A big man, near and if not a legit seven-feet tall, Yurtseven has the skills to be a stretch guy to go along with all the other big stuff he can do.
Showing out so far in the Miami Heat’s summer league appearances in the California Classic, here is what he had to say about how he felt after his first showing, a 27 point, 19 rebounds, and two assists performance, per Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald.
"“Amazing, amazing,” Yurtseven said to reporters during a post-game Zoom session. “All the hard work that I’ve been putting in, being inserted out there and playing in that system, it’s my first five-on-five in about a month. So it felt really good. And first time in a Heat jersey, it was a proud moment for me."

Amazing it was, indeed. Not only was he the best player on the court, but it was by far as he dominated the competition. He looked like a true man amongst boys on the floor.
While this was against other young guys, it really could make some start to think. Though it wouldn’t be to this same magnitude (or would it?), could he make a contribution during the regular year?
With his size, skill set, ability, and the confidence he’s showing so far in Summer League play, could Yurtseven be a contributor on the big club? Is it time to stop thinking two-way player with Turk Nowitzki, The Big Yurt, or the guy starting that’s responsible for YurtSZN… and start thinking standard contract?
