Miami Heat: Can Yurtseven Be Good Enough On Both Sides To Stay On The Floor?
The Miami Heat will surely look to get the most out of Omer Yurtseven as well. However, he’ll have to ace the test first.
Here’s the biggest question on it.
Biggest Question For Omer Yurtseven: Will His Defense Finally Allow Him to Stay On The Court?
Omer Yurtseven has a ton of offensive skill, can protect the rim, and has a tremendous knack for rebounding the basketball. However, he has found himself lost, a step too slow, or just out of sync way too often on defense during his opportunities on the court thus far for the Miami Heat.
With more physical work to increase his athletic ability, such as foot speed or quick-twitch explosiveness, he can help to improve there.
He could also do so mentally by doing what it takes to increase his awareness and recognition, such as film study, which would allow him to account for his lack of athletic traits with anticipation because he knows and understands what’s about to happen to him.
Ideally though, there has been a lot of both for him, which could really help him take the next step. The Miami Heat should look to deploy their big men more this year with more size across the conference and Yurt should be in that number.
He’ll have to show and prove defensively to stay in that number though.
