Dallas Mavericks: Omer Yurtseven 2020 NBA Draft profile

Dallas Mavericks draft: Omer Yurtseven weaknesses

Omer Yurtseven seems to improve on the things that bog his value down, but there are some things that you just cannot fix. He struggles most with athleticism which could cause him to struggle mightily in the NBA.

Yurtseven has had some nice dunks and athletic blocks, but he would be in trouble in the NBA. The 22-year-old would be a step slow compared to the best athletes in the world. Yurtseven is dense enough to clog the paint and have a defensive presence, but it is not his strong suit. The opposition could target him.

He does show some flashes of blocking and rebounding ability, but it is untested against NBA talent. His age does not help. Are teams really going to take a chance on a player that is almost 23 and still needs to develop?
