Who is Omer Yurtseven and what does he bring to the Utah Jazz

It was announced yesterday that Omer Yurtseven has signed a two-year, partially guaranteed deal with the Utah Jazz. The first year is for $2.8 million, and according to reports is only partially guaranteed. The second year is non-guaranteed, meaning that while the Jazz now have 15 players under contract for the regular season, they can still cut Yurtseven, along with Luka Samanic and Kris Dunn, and be able to save money and add talent in the process.

That doesn’t seem to be the plan, at least at the moment. While names like Christian Wood exist in free agency, it looks like the Jazz are going ahead with the roster as is, hoping that Dunn’s defense, Samanic’s dynamic offense, and Yurtseven’s upside is enough to add to the team’s bench.
