The Chris Childs Award – This award goes to the player who has posted the highest Turnover Percentage so far this season. It’s named after former New York Knick, Chris Childs, who retired with a career Turnover Percentage of 22.8%. (Minimum 500 minutes)

Utah’s dynamic duo of backup point guards, Earl Watson and Jamaal Tinsley finished 1-2 in the final tally for this award. Both players actually increased their TO% since the All-Star break, which is amazing considered how bloated those numbers already were. In the end Watson separated himself fairly significantly, turning the ball over on 34.5% of his possessions, compared to just 30.2% for Tinsley. Just to really drive home how little depth Utah had in the backcourt this season, I’ll point out that in addition to their turnover problems, both Tinsley and Watson shot under 40% for the season and still combined to play 2050 minutes for the Jazz.

Remember the good 'ol days when all we needed was a defensive big man?
