Check my Stats Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) I'm not asking for thoughts on his production, I am asking for thoughts (from Philly fans mainly) on how he has looked. I watched him vs Toronto and I really wasn't really all that impressed. I am not sure what made him so successful in college (didn't watch) but it doesn't seem to be translating in the pros; mind you, it has only been 10 games, so by no means is this meant to be a troll thread or a thread to trash ET. I just wanna know what Sixers fans think of this kid. What does he do well, what can he do better, etc. Edited November 20, 2010 by Check my Stats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Swish* Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 He's a good rebounder for a guard imo. I'm not a Philly fan but I think he's not bad at all. Even though he still didn't find the touch, he doesn't have such a bad production. Not like the beginning of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multi-Billionaire Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 He's a very good passer that's for sure. I think he's a very smart player and is not trying to force things... he's playing collected and composed so far. I like it. I think he will settle as a role player this year, then try to take a bigger role in his 2nd/ 3rd year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 He's not really going to break out until Iguodala is gone to be honest...because he doesn't mesh well with him at all. Great rebounder, good ball handler and passer. Jump shot needs work..needs to be more aggressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted November 20, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 He does everything, but he doesn't do it well enough to stand out. His success in college was mainly due to that, though. If you can do everything good, you're going to make it big in college basketball. Once you get to the pros, though, you have to be able to do at least one thing great to be able to stand out among the rest. You look at John Wall, for instance...he can pass, and he's one of the fastest players in the NBA. Those are two aspects of his game that translated well to the pros. Turner can score the ball, pass, defend, to the point where he looks like a poor man's Brandon Roy...but he's having to do this against 350-400 of the best players in the world, so something has to improve to the point where he's got an advantage over others in at least one department of his game.

Newman Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 He is one of those "old-school" players that someone mentioned in another thread...if he gets his shooting right, he is almost as complete of a player as you are going to get.

Owner Real Deal Posted December 8, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Hayden (New York) Who has been the most disappointing rookie in your eyes thus far? Chad Ford (1:15 PM) Evan Turner by a mile. But I'm also surprised Wes Johnson hasn't been better. I didn't think he'd be a superstar, but I thought he'd contribute more to a bad team right away.http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/chat/_/id/35899 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 He has been incredibly disappointing. But, coincidence or not, he had his best games when Iguodala was out injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AboveLegit Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Still not sure why they didn't draft Favors. Because he was a top 2 talent in the draft, you just don't pass up on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomarFachix Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 He has been incredibly disappointing. But, coincidence or not, he had his best games when Iguodala was out injured. Turner needs to dominate the ball to be effective. Makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Like I've said in the past...Iguodala is holding him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Second guessing the pick is stupid. At the time, there was 99% consensus to take Turner. Just because he has sucked is no reason to say it was a bad pick. It was absolutely the right pick at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
