freshman guard gaining seasoning for Omaha
In the 2025-26 season, Esra Kurban is a 5-foot-8 freshman guard for Omaha who’s been used in a limited role, averaging roughly 1.0 point and 0.3 assists in about 7.6 minutes per game, so the box score doesn’t scream star—but the fit is about upside, not volume[1][6][11]. She’s a young, active backcourt piece from Istanbul who brings size for a guard, and the real appeal is developmental: if you want a low-usage guard with room to grow into a steady rotation player, she’s a buy-the-stock-early kind of prospect[1][8][13].
