The Turkish big man Omer Yurtseven has made a strong early impression with the Golden State Warriors.
After signing a 10-day deal, Yurtseven delivered a solid performance against the Detroit Pistons, finishing with eight points, six rebounds, and two assists while catching the attention of head coach Steve Kerr.
“I’m a fan of Omer – he’s a very good player, very talented,” Kerr said. “He’s a good passer, he can shoot, and he’s had success in the NBA.
“We’ve only had him for a few days, but I enjoy watching him every day and seeing how he fits with the other guys.”
Yurtseven has played 4 seasons for the Heat, Warriors and Jazz. He has averaged 4.9 points and 4.6 rebounds in 118 regular-season games.
