Evan Turner

So far looking like a b*tch out there. I don't ever see this guy being an all-star.

That's all.

[Sarcastic]

Overrated.

Tends to happen with Big Ten players.

when will people ever learn that summer league performances rarely mean anything. Remember how everyone was calling Derrick Rose a bust after his summer league.

Not me. I was sold on him due to his natural ability and athletic ability.

Turner looks like a 3rd option, or a role player. They were going to trade Igoudala.... big mistake!

Igoudala > Turner

[NuggetsFan]

It's just summer league but you can't help but notice. Haven't really watched Turner but Favours looks terrible so far.

We underestimated Derrick Rose's supreme athletism to where he is more athletic than any point guard in the league and its not even close.

He can handling the rock and drive, so he can just out athlete anyone.

Guys like OJ Mayo, Brandon Roy, Joe Johnson, Kobe need supreme basketball skill to get the job done, if they aren't freak penetrators.

I haven't seen that from Turner yet, not even glimpses of it. A guy like Lance Stephenson has star written all over him though. "Born Ready"

[midatlantic09]

I was never all that impressed with Turner's game. I think he'll be an okay player, averaging something like 18/6/5 in his prime, but I doubt he'll ever be an all-star. The Sixers would have been better off drafting Wes Johnson, Cousins, or Paul George (yes, Paul George...he's a sleeper and will probably end up one of the better players out from the 2010 draft) with the #2 pick.

Lance Stephenson is pretty good. But he can't play point.

Is this where all the people doubting Evan is going to come out? He'll be fine. The kid just has to adjust, summer league is just glorified pick up basketball.

one thing about turner is he has looked a little bit versatile. He is 6'7 has great handle, and can pass. He could very well do 5rebs and 5 assists his rookie year. The scoring and being a gamebreaker is what is concern right now.

I'm not worried about Turner at all. I project him to take the ROY award to Philly.

It's summer league. He should be playing much better than he currently is. I have gone back and watched a good portion of his games (as well as Favors - who has looked active, but disappointing), and he has looked very un-athletic, hesistant, and unable to create scoring opportunities for himself. He has rebounded well as expected, and he has passed the ball well, but I just don't see him as a game changer. He's no all-star.

I never make major summer league judgements, but this guy is going to disappoint. Not a Kwame or Darko kind of atomic disappointment, more of an Emeka Okafor level disappointment. Okafor maxed out his game in college, and I see Turner having done the same.

I don't see the Brandon Roy comparisons. I see a less athletic Igoudala.

Stephenson looks like a competent scorer, but he won't be able to play point guard. His dribble is way out of control.

So far, I have liked:
Gerald Henderson
Paul George
Magnum Rolle
Terrence Williams
Damion Jones - so aggressive, and looks very competent. Can he do this on the next level? Maybe for short stretches.
Luke Harongody (though that jumper won't cut it in the NBA)
Jrue Holiday - along with New Jersey's Jones, he looks to be one of the best players at summer league.

Who saw him get stripped today, then not run back down the floor. Lazy SOB.

Good luck with this guy 76er fans. I'd trade him now while he has high stock.

[hateraid]

Jared Bayless was a stud his summer camp and was claimed the best player drafted.

It's the guys looking for spots who play their asses off and the garauntees tend to not go 100%.

[Se]

When I play ball, I give it my all, as does anyone that really cares about the sport.

He shouldn't be showing his frustrations this way.

Think of it this way, if he blows up and becomes an amazing player, you can all rub it in my face.

At absolute best, he duplicates Igoudala's career. With less athleticism, and slightly higher skill base.

[PleezeBelieve]

lol @ this thread. Give up your scouting job, bum.

Agreed. I'm not saying that Turner won't be a bust relative to his draft positioning, he certainly struggled mightily in Orlando, but I'll wait a few seasons before I pass judgment on the kid. Summer league literally means nothing in the grand scheme of things, and perhaps his sluggishness was due to poor conditioning (itself a red flag, but certainly not the obstacle that a lack of athletic ability would present) or hesitation precipitated by his position change.

[Jailblazers7]

Not worried at all. There is always an adjustment and his role on the summer league team is immensely different than what he played at Ohio State. I'll wait to see him in real game action to make any real judgements.

[el gringos]

Told you

[T-bomb 25]

His athletascim looks way below par,his skill set is fine,he's fine when he's making passes,but when he tries to create for himself he looks very unathletic,in somerleague you can see this if nothing else.

I don't take much stock in summer league. Some say if you do poorly it is a bad sign, but if you do great, it still doesn't mean anything.

Roy didn't have mind blowing numbers. Some were just glad he could hold his own against Randy Foye as sad as that seems now.

By the way, there is no way that summer league court is NBA regulation. That court is smaller. The spacing in an actual NBA game will give guys like Turner more room to operate.

Athleticism was not Magic Johnson's game either. Size, ball handling and vision were. Turner has those. Magic was never going to out-leap anyone or break ankles, but he didn't have to. He was bigger than everyone and had the ball handling and vision of a smaller man. Not that Turner is Magic.... their is only one Magic.... but Turner brings a rare combination of size, ball handling and vision much in the same way that Magic did. Those players are rare. When you have that kind of height, ball handling and vision, it is not that necessary to have great athleticism.

And Darko Milicic is the 2nd coming of Chris Webber, right?

To be fair, you're acting like he's a complete bum athletically. He's not. He'll be fine. Joe Johnson's not a super athlete and he's an All-Star (and made All-NBA this season).

Not really sure where the comment about lacking heart is coming from.

Totally agree here. Turner is a better athlete than given credit for - especially considering his size. Plus Turner has great vision, feel for the game, body control and ball handling.

[Styles p]

no heart? you gotta have heart to survive all the shit he went through as a kid.

[G-train]

Turner has Roy-like poise and decision making. When his obvious skills adjust to NBA tempo (post Training camp) he will be a suberb player.

Since when did Turner have a lack of heart? Are we talking about the same Evan Turner that decided to come back early from a serious back injury because his team was struggling? The same Evan Turner that scored 23 of his 32 points in the second half, rallying from a 13 pt deficit against a top 5 team in Purdue AT West Lafayette? The same Evan Turner that hit a 30 ft 3 to win the game against Michigan at the Big Ten Tournament? Then carried them again through overtime against Illinois a day later? That Evan Turner?

If that doesn't register as heart, then I don't want to know what does.

[Se]

Rookie of the year, book it

From Coach Thorpe:

20. Evan Turner, 76ers
Summer-league stats: 9.4 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 2.8 apg

Turner was, at best, a poor player in Orlando compared to any reasonable expectation -- not locked in, bad body language and poor skills. But don't get too alarmed. It's a testament to his talent that he still made plays on the glass and had some good offensive moments. I suspect that while almost every other player spent three to eight weeks before July working on their games and working out for teams, Turner did little on-court stuff. No doubt he'll look better in preseason and beyond.

Lowest ranked rookie from Summer league :)

I'm not talking about stats, GOBB. You know that. It's more so what he did physically on the court. He doesn't look like a big time player that you should get at Pick 2. If he goes on to duplicate what Eddie Jones did for his career, I'll be very surprised.

I don't need to see how Steph Curry struggled (stats-wise), or how Banks scored 42ppg.

I saw enough to know that Turner needs a lot of work, and someone needs to light a fire under his ass.

Plenty of big time players didnt look great in Summer League. Somehow Evan Turner is different. Maybe because you want so hard to be right.



You need to see players beast and struggle in Summer League. Trying to draw from it a projection into what kind of players they will become is silly. Evan Turner didnt beast as a freshman. Overtime he worked hard on his game, adjusted and 2 years later after his freshman year became the college player of the year, consensus #2 player in the draft.

You can sit there poking and proding what you saw. But you put more into that than other variables. And again this is Summer League. Yet somehow you have it figured out. Funny. Making a big deal out of nothing.



No one needs to light a fire under his ass. Just like you question his "heart" all wrong. You are question his work ethic and passion all wrong. Evan Turner would agree with you he played like crap and has alot to work on. Yet somehow someone needs to light a fire under his ass. :rolleyes:

#2 NBA draft picks shouldn't be given time to adjust. They're expected to come in and produce right away. You don't waste your #2 pick on someone who needs time to "develop"; especially a player who has 3 years of college ball under their belt.

That said, the Sixers should have taken Cousins with the #2 pick. Not doing so is going to come back to haunt them.

Though I believe that Turner will be a good NBA player, I have to agree. Legit bigs come along so infrequently that I thought Cousins was the clear choice. Turner simply gives the Sixers another tweener kind of guy who's not really a great fit for the position they want him to play.

[ILLsmak]

He's good but he's mentally weak. And he needs to not be the primary scorer. Like I said before, he could be a 2nd guy, easily, he just needs a first guy who can put up points as a shooter and he can do the dirty work and attack the rim.

It's too early to be hating. But yea he shouldn't have gone number 2... shoulda got cousins and Favors is looking like he should have gone above him, too. If you look at the roster of Philly, it's hard to imagine why they didn't pick a big.

-Smak

[GOBB]

If Cousins isnt blocking shots then whats the point?

Favors looks like he shouldnt went ahead of Evan Turner? The guy who avg 7.5ppg 6rpg? Shooting 40% and bpg avg under 1? Ok. Cant argue that.

yeah, im definitely not convinced that he will be a good/great nba baller. definitely has the tools, but I dont see it. This team would be much better with cousins.

Guess again buddy. Explain to me how the 76ers will be able to deal these 2 and go into full rebuild mode. Brand has 3 years and over 51 million left on his contract. Iggy has 4 years and nearly 62 million left on his deal. You are not getting any young prospects or cap relief with these players. You will only take bad contracts in return bc the value on these guys are low. You guys are stuck with these guys

Turner is an average jumpshooter, whose main attribute is slashing to the hoop, but he had a couple of important injuries, with his current hops he won

I just think that an offensively gifted 7' who gets great position for rebounds and is a solid athlete and defender is more of a game changer, especially on mediocre squads.


But I will admit, almost all of my favorite players are bigs.

i think for him there will be some growing pains but i think he will alright in the end he just has to get quicker and improve ball handling and get involved!!!

Another "DNP-Coach's Decision" for Mr. Turner.

Is this guy headed for the D-League?

[leopoldstotch]

i am disappointed with turner. i thought he would be a key member of the rotation. maybe we should point at doug collins for underutilizing his talents?

[cteach111]
