Likely headed to Greece
Yurtseven agreed in principle to a contract with Greek club Panathinaikos on Monday, Eurohoops reports.
ANALYSIS
The deal isn't finalized yet, as the 6-foot-11 center still wants to give NBA teams one last chance to offer him a contract before he heads back to Europe. After spending three years with Turkish club Fenerbache to start his basketball career, Yurtseven went to the United States for college in 2016. He spent four years at NC State before transferring to Georgetown. He wasn't selected in the 2020 NBA Draft but received a G League opportunity and worked his way into the Heat's rotation in the 2020-21 season, averaging 5.3 points and 5.3 rebounds in 12.6 minutes across 56 appearances (12 starts). After making only nine appearances for Miami in 2022-23, Yurtseven joined the Jazz in 2023-24 and played 48 games (12 starts), averaging 4.6 points and 4.3 rebounds in 11.4 minutes.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Yurtseven is coming into his second year with the potential to receive much more playing time than he did last season. The Heat have virtually the same roster as last season, except for the departure of P.J. Tucker. Tucker was the starting power forward and averaged 28 minutes per game. This leaves the Heat with only three true big men on the roster in Bam Adebayo, Dewayne Dedmon and Yurtseven. Yurtseven could possibly see himself starting next to Adebayo at center, or at least having extended run off the bench. While the rookie only averaged 5.3 points and 5.3 rebounds last season, he saw just 12.6 minutes per game. In the 12 games Yurtseven started due to Adebayo's thumb injury, he averaged 12.1 points, 12.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks in 29.2 minutes. While being a double-double machine, he still shot 50.8 percent from the field and 61.5 percent on free throws during his starts, which were very similar to his season averages (52.6 percent on field goals and 62.3 percent on free throws). If he can improve his outside shooting, this would allow him to start next to Adebayo. However, even if he remains as a bench option, Yurtseven would still be a viable deep league flier at center who can be productive in his minutes and out-produce his draft position if any injury happens above him on the depth chart like last season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Worked out for New York
Yurtseven worked out for the Knicks during the offseason but didn't sign a deal with them, according to Marc Stein of Substack.
ANALYSIS
Yurtseven appeared in 48 games for the Jazz in 2023-24, averaging 4.6 points and 4.3 rebounds in 11.4 minutes per night while shooting 53.8 percent from the field. Those numbers would've been serviceable for a backup center, but the Knicks are electing to move in a different direction. Panathinaikos remain interested in signing Yurtseven.
