AboveLegit Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Turner looks like a Brandon Roy clone to me. I would say Turner has more explosiveness than Roy had coming out, and to be honest, I think his potential is greater than that of Roy's, and I really like Roy too. Turner has more straight line speed than Roy from what I've seen... with and without the ball. They're about the same when it comes to shifty moves and quickness (maybe Roy has a tad more jerk in his game)... Roy wants to power up off of two feet more than Turner. Turner likes to do either... he can go quick off one foot and finish high or power up off two feet and finish strong or use touch. John Wall has the better left hand and Wall will drive left and finish with the left hand- exploding off the right leg... and Wall is willing to do this every time if you give it to him... he has no dominant hand which makes him really dangerous. Turner is definitely the best player in college basketball, but even more than that- he's got a pro's game with pro size/strength. And Turner has a frame that can add strength. He fits into virtually every system at one of three positions. If he were in the triangle offense, he'd be a pinch post nightmare because he can stick the mid-range jumper and/or playmake from many different spots on the floor. Dude can post up, he makes good decisions in the open court, he sticks his nose in the paint and owns the boards... Turner just basically handles business out there. If the Wizards can draft him, he would be the ideal backcourt partner to Gilbert Arenas. If we're able to resign Mike Miller, we'll have a very solid team next year with cap space. I'd absolutely love our future if we can get the #1 or 2 pick. Hell, I might even say Turner is the better pick for us than John Wall.

JWaLL Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I'd love to get him, but he's closing in on being a unanimous second overall pick in the draft, so our chances of getting him aren't very likely, especially with Washington's horrible luck in the lottery. But if we do somehow end up with the second pick, welcome to D.C Turner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) I have not seen him play much but I watched him play today the boy is an absolute beast. What ever team manages to get their hands on him is going to get a great talent. Edited March 13, 2010 by ChosenOne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I'd rather have him in Philly. Flat out STUD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make It Naaaashty Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Nah, get him in a Suns jersey with Steve Nash and maybe Amare next year. That would be best for him I think to play in a pretty fast paced offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWaLL Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Thanks for ruining my dreams Hey, at least you got something to cheer for right now. Look at my team, we're a laughing stock lol. We don't have a single marketable player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted March 15, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Can't really argue with the Wizards needing Turner. Hell of a consolation prize, really. Wall may be the best player in college basketball, but I can surely give anyone an argument for Turner (and anyone who watches college ball wouldn't have to hear that argument, haha).

YugoRocketsFan Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 John Wall can enter the draft even if he's freshmen? The rule requires 1 year of college or 19 years old, or some professional bball in europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 John Wall can enter the draft even if he's freshmen? That's been the rule for a while, you only need at least one year of college experience before being able to apply for the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted March 15, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 The rule is actually just 19 years of age or older. You can just sit, play college ball, play overseas, play Mortal Kombat for a year, whatever...as long as you're 19. Obviously, you'd want to just go to college, to give you the maximum exposure, but the rule only asks for a minimum age of 19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliCurbStomppa Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Didnt know that. Very different than to the NFL College rule. I think John Wall should play one more year or two just to have some more experiences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Bomba Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Didnt know that. Very different than to the NFL College rule. I think John Wall should play one more year or two just to have some more experiencesExperience isn't needed when you're a lock to be a number one pick. Rose and Beasley could of used more experience but when they saw a big shoe contract and the money a top pick gets, these players don't care.

Owner Real Deal Posted March 16, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 How come Rubio was able to play even though he wasnt 19?Foreign players must turn 19 on that calendar year. Rubio was 18 when he was drafted, turning 19 that same year (2009), so that would make him eligible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
