His friends will have to be a little more patient Panathinaikou for him Omer Yurtseven. As reported by the Turkish version of Eurohoops and based on information from the neighboring country, the 26-year-old center has come to agreement in principle with the champions of Greece and Europebut will wait for a few more days in case some last chance arises from the NBA.
The Turkish international ace (2.11m.) was released by the Jazz and remains on the list of free agents, but without many options in the market, since most teams have closed their rosters with the positions of guaranteed contracts and now mainly two-way contracts are available. The Knicks who tested him decided not to offer him a contract and so the Yurtseven he sees his chances of staying in the NBA for a fourth season narrowing. It will be difficult for him to find the combination of role and contract that he would like, while the “greens” offer him much higher wages than the minimum he will get in the USA and certainly a bigger role and playing time.
Panathinaikos, at his suggestion Ergin Ataman who knows him very well from their cooperation in the Turkish national team, has decided that Yurceven is the tall man he wants to flank him Matias Lessor. The “greens” have, of course, no problem meeting his demands and the only obstacle at the moment is the player’s willingness to wait for a few more days for an opportunity from the NBA.
The Turkish coach of Panathinaikos would like to have his center available as soon as possible. The team will start gathering for exams on August 25, while on the 30th of the month the basic preparation stage will begin.
