Miami Heat: Is Omer Yurtseven The Actual Answer To Size Question?
Across the playoffs and though Atlanta didn’t give the Heat a ton of trouble with their size, the 76ers and Celtics used it to get the best of the Heat at times, ultimately in the Boston Celtics’ case. So, how do the Heat counter that?
Well, they could go outside of their own selves (though it won’t be Christian Wood, someone linked with the Heat for a while). Or, they could do it internally.
To be frank, with hard work this offseason and attention to the finer details of the defensive side of the ball, the Miami Heat have a guy in Omer Yurtseven that could be just as good or better than any of the other options out there.
Though you have to take into account that some of his numbers were against lesser competition than he would typically face on a regular NBA night, he did start 12 games for the Miami Heat this season and 10 of them consecutively during one stretch of the season.
