Turkish big man Omer Yurtseven had a pre-Draft interview with the Charlotte Hornets (among many other teams) this past Tuesday. Yurtseven played his freshman and sophomore seasons at North Carolina State and his senior season at Georgetown after playing with Fenerbahçe in Turkey’s Basketball Super League from 2013 to 2016. The skilled big man has extensive playing experience in multiple different leagues, even appearing in multiple pre-season games against NBA teams as a teenager.
Part one of his Hornets prospect scouting report will be the talk that we had, which covered his interview with the Hornets, what skills he’s been working on throughout the pre-Draft process, his past experiences with Fenerbahçe, and his adjustment and experiences coming from Turkey to the USA, and part two, coming tomorrow, will be the usual scouting report.
