Ömer Faruk Yurtseven for center backup form Utah Jazz. He is a teammate of Alperen from the national team. They know each other. Super rebounder, a solid block threat, good P&R finisher. Low BBiq but better than Jock.
Vasilije Micic as backup sg/pg. Last year’s Euroleague MVP. He has incredible experience playing big games and needs 15-20 minutes of rotation time to show something to the league. Can’t find minutes in Thunders because that team has lots of potential young guns to distribute minutes. Solid shooter, a good passer, a good driver, and more importantly elite crunch-time player. 29 years old and could be a great backup pg/sg for FVV. He can keep playing P&R, and can make a connection with JG in 2nd unit, only not used to fast tempo.
Hope someone from management reads here :))
And Micic has a high basketball IQ besides his great experience. Could be even a perfect piece to close the games when Jalen earns experience in time. I don’t think Holiday is a great option to close the games regularly, or any other bench player the Rockets have currently. One problem is if Thunders gives him for cheap because he has kind a rookie contract.
And if FVV has any injury, FGS, nobody seems ready to lead the team in the required tempo.
