Have Miami Heat solidified power rotation in summer league?


Q:  Ira, you really want to tell me that Erik Spoelstra prefers Orlando Robinson to a proven NBA player like Omer Yurtseven?– Masoud, Tucson, Ariz.

A: I would tell you that for the role of third-string center, there is more comfort with the growth curve with Orlando Robinson than Omer Yurtseven. But I also would not overstate Orlando and what he is doing during summer league. He hardly is a lock to make the roster. It is one thing to do it against summer-league competition, another against bigger, faster, stronger NBA competition. As for Omer, I believe the Heat had doubts that Omer could accept being a seldom-used third option in the middle.
