Evan Turner

• chs_redskins

  

  Where do you think Evan will go in the draft IF he leaves ohio state early
• Lovejoy1984

  

  He's a lottery pick.
• september63

  

  In the top 10
• Writerbuckeye

  

  Some mocks have him top 3 right now.
  
  I don't think there's any "if" involved now -- he's gone. Given his injury scare and where he's being projected, it would be foolish to stay; and I'm betting even Matta would tell him this.
• devil1197

  Top 10 possibly Top 5 but that depends on who comes out etc.
  
  He needs to improve on his perimeter shooting.
• september63

  

  www.nbadraft.net has him #4 and moving up. John Wall is #1 as a freshman.
• jpake1

  

  He's a top 4 talent for me along with Wall, Henry, and Aminu.

  Don't you mean Kevin Trurner?
• thedynasty1998

  

  I'll list a few that I personally would draft in front of Turner:
  
  John Wall
  Greg Monroe
  Xavier Henry
  Cole Aldrich
  
  And I could see some making a case for Turner in front of each one other than Wall. Turner has really impressed me this year, but for some reason I just don't see where he fits in at the next level.

  Has he even sobered up yet to come back and edit that post?
• Laley23

  

  The ONLY 2 players I think are for sure going ahead of Turner are John Wall of Kentucky and Wesley Johnson of Syracuse.
  
  After that I think a handful of guys are all about even:
  
  Evan Turner (OSU)
  Al-Farouq Aminu (Wake)
  Ed Davis (UNC)
  Xavier Henry (Kansas)
  DeMarcus Cousins (Kentucky)
  Derrick Favors (Georgia Tech)
  Greg Monroe (G'Town)
  Cole Aldrich (Kansas)
  Damion James (Texas)
  Avery Bradley (Texas)
  
  Id say he doesnt go top 5, but for sure top 10. A random guess is #7.

  Turner needs to improve his outside game, or he won't do shit in the NBA.
  
  He's so good in college cause he can physically beat defenders...can't do that in the NBA.

  He needs to improve but he also won't be the main focus on the team while running the point guard spot.
  
  He'll get better looks in the NBA then he gets now.
• justcompete

  He remindes me alot of Michael Redd at this point of his carreer. Go make your money son, you can still improve in the NBA.
• se-alum

  

  I don't see his outside game being that big a problem. He can shoot the 3, just doesn't need to very often. His mid-range game is money, and he has a good post game. I think he can be very good as a 2 or 3 man in the NBA. I say he will be a top 5 pick.

  I've got a comparison that some might laugh at, Rajon Rondo.
  
  Rondo can't shoot worth a crap and Turner isn't nearly as quick or as good with the ball in his hands. But both are guys that slip under the radar, but at the end of the game are filling up the stat column. Both are long and play bigger than they are.

  pretty sure Turner is like 6'7" thats not exactly "small"

  Evan Turner is going to be a star in the NBA.
  
  He's a Top 3 talent, hands down.
• cbus4life
