04/24/11 Evan Turner has heard plenty about the terrible twos. He isn't buying into the trend. While the past three No. 2 overall selections in the NBA Draft hardly qualify as busts (well, at least two of the three), they also have represented a steep drop off from the players selected ahead of them.
03/01/11 When the Sixers drafted Evan Turner with the No. 2 pick last June, they took a player who, in college, could get wherever he wanted with the ball in his hands. Problem was, the Sixers wanted him to play shooting guard. Problem is, Turner just isn't a good enough shooter to be a starting "two" in the NBA.

02/10/11 Evan Turner, the No. 2 pick in the 2010 draft, was recently the only top-five pick in his class to not be named to the Rookie/Sophomore game during All-Star Weekend. In many Sixers' fans minds, that only confirmed their worst fear heading into the season: Turner is a bust. After Turner went through a rough outing in the NBA Summer League this past summer, a shocking number of Sixers fans already ...

01/07/11 Unlike last season when Kentucky 's John Wall and Ohio State 's Evan Turner turned the national player of the year debate into a head-to-head battle , this year's race appears to be a bit more wide open. UConn point guard Kemba Walker emerged as an early front runner thanks to his MVP performance at the Maui Invitational over Thanksgiving, but others have closed the gap or perhaps overtaken him ...
01/07/11 Isiah Thomas. Doc Rivers. Kevin Garnett. Jeff Hornacek. Hersey Hawkins. Juwan Howard. Corey Maggette. Shannon Brown. Evan Turner. The list is endless. And now it includes Dave Sobolewski and Matt Parisi. Benet's guard tandem placed itself in legendary company as Parisi and Sobolewski earned first-team all-tournament honors at last week's 50th annual Proviso West Holiday Tournament.

11/23/10 --Last year, Ohio State didn't have an obvious point guard candidate until Thad Matta handed Evan Turner the ball. That turned out to work pretty well as Turner averaged 6.0 assists per game while leading the Buckeyes to 29 wins and a share of the Big Ten title.
11/23/10 Figure out whether this is a leap in logic: Second-seeded Ohio State lost in the NCAA Tournament's round of 16, then lost national player of the year Evan Turner to the NBA.
11/19/10 Ohio State lost the national player of the year last spring when Evan Turner declared for the NBA draft. If the rest of Jared Sullinger's freshman season looks anything like his first two games, the award might not be leaving Columbus. After leading the way to a road win over a top-10 opponent with another double-double, Sullinger looks to continue his hot start Saturday night as the...
11/17/10 Florida coach Billy Donovan believes No. 4 Ohio State will be better off without All-America guard Evan Turner.
11/12/10 For the past two seasons, the Ohio State men's basketball team was, for the most part, all Evan Turner, all the time. But with Turner now in the NBA, the Buckeyes appear to be, after one game, much more balanced.
11/05/10 Ohio State lost Evan Turner. Purdue's Robbie Hummel is out. But that doesn't stop Gary Parrish from rating the Big Ten the No. 1 conference, where Tom Izzo's decision to stay put makes the Spartans a favorite.
10/27/10 A few weeks ago, I wrote an article pertaining to the starting five that New Sixers Head Coach Doug Collins would use on opening night against Miami. In that article I predicted that Doug Collins would utilize the consensus pick, Jrue Holiday at the point, 2nd overall pick, Evan Turner at the two spot, Andre Iguodala and Thaddeus Young at the forward spots with Elton Brand in the middle.
10/21/10 Last year's record? 27-55, missed playoffs Significant departures? Allen Iverson , Samuel Dalembert , Rodney Carney . Significant arrivals? Evan Turner , Spencer Hawes , Andres Nocioni , Dr. Tony Battie . Projected record, as predicted three months ago in time to publish in Yahoo! Sports' NBA Preview Magazine ? 37-45 Why I think that sounds about right? Doug Collins. The man will wear on you ... |
