Deserves own thread - Omer Yurtseven

[Stifle Tower]

In a Turkish league game yesterday....

91 points
28 rebounds

Evan Daniels saying the 16 class ('17 draftees) is as good as he's ever seen.

Heard that a few years ago on this board from that PKM dude.

1. Any truth to the rumor he's going to UK?
2. After the game he reportedly said defense isn't important. (JK)
3. Sounds like he's the best player of his generation.
4. Who is PKM?

Oh, and I don't care WHO the competition was. Jazz don't have ONE player who could score that many points if you left them unguarded every shot.

Jeff Goodman@GoodmanESPN: Turkish forward Omer Yurtseven told ESPN he compares his game to Tim Duncan.

I don't know why any of this matters, or is remotely Jazz related. Couldn't the entire thread go into the Following 2017 thread? Jazz will be picking in the 12-17 range next year. Too good to win the lottery, too bad to be relevant.

Hey there is always the GS pick.

He played against the Nets in a pre-season game last year. He went 3/4 for 8 points and 7 rebounds in 15 minutes of play. He was 16!!!

This is pretty amazing. And he had a blocked shot.

When I was 16 I was playing varsity basketball - this dude played an NBA team and he played well.

So how do these leagues work? If the kid is eligible for NCAA he isn't playing for money, right? So is he in school while he plays for Fener? Who takes care of him? I always just assumed Sabonis had his dad to fall back on so that's why he was okay with not getting paid before college, but there's probably a whole system there that I'm missing.

Not sure if you're joking or not. The dude has seven yurts. He doesn't have to worry about who is taking care of him.

Sorry but he would not have played in Euroleague final. Coach was not giving him time. He is not under any real contract. Dont blame him one bit for pursuing something else. Unfortunately, he is a bonehead in the aspect that he added the state to North Carolina hopefully he will go back and see his error. They better get docs to NCAA fast. I can easily see him not getting clearance before season starts.

He was the fourth big behind Ekpe Udoh, Jan vesely, and Pero Antic. He played decent minutes in Euroleague and Turkish league for a contender. To me even training with these Veterans is a very good preperation to NBA but obviously he has different views.

as far as I understand, Fenerbahçe will not fight against Omer's NCAA application

Oh so yurt means penis in slang? I get it now.

Info för anyone interested:

Yurt: Country, homeland
Seven: Lover, the one who loves.

Yurtseven: His homeland's lover.

Yeap, but still expect those sheets that claim he took money from Fener.

Datome was also getting minutes at the 4. He only played if things were going horrible wrong or horribly right and even then in Euroleague they care so much about point differential he still did not play that much.

He didn't even have an offer from UK. I posted just because I thought it was post worthy.
