Contract Value Index (CVI)
Yurtseven's one-year, $2.66M deal earns a C- CVI — a middling value proposition for a fourth-year center whose performance hasn't justified NBA rotation minutes. His current season numbers of 2.8 points and 2.8 rebounds across just six games reflect the struggles that led to his D+ performance grade, while his 5.0 PER underscores why teams view him as emergency depth rather than a developmental asset. At $2.66M AAV, the Warriors are paying below-average starter money for what amounts to replacement-level center production, making this a questionable allocation even for short-term needs. The 27-year-old's career trajectory suggests he's approaching his ceiling as a fringe NBA player, with multiple 10-day contracts signaling organizational uncertainty about his long-term viability. Golden State's recent signings of Charles Bassey and various depth pieces indicate they're cycling through options rather than committing to Yurtseven as a solution. The one-year term limits downside risk, but paying nearly $3M for a player described as getting "one last chance" reflects poor resource management during what appears to be a roster evaluation period.
