Omer Yurtseven has declared for the 2020 NBA Draft and will not return to Georgetown next season, according to Jon Rothstein.

Yurtseven started off with Fenerbahce before moving to the US to join the NC State. After two years there, he transferred to Georgetown and wasn’t eligible to play during the first year. This past season, the 21-year-old averaged 15.5 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, and 1.2 assists.

He made his EuroLeague debut with Fenerbahce back in 2015, playing two minutes. Yurtseven also logged eight points, seven rebounds and one block in 15 minutes against Brooklyn Nets the same year, becoming the youngest player in history (at the time) to play in an NBA preseason game, at 17 years old.
