S-Jax leading league in %TO for guards

The theory in this one is that once a player gets the ball, he can only do one of these four things (aside from dribbling): pass, shoot, draw a foul, or commit a turnover.
So those are the stats for most players in the league.

Of course it isn't a suprise that Stephen Jackson is leading the guards in turnovers. 6,9% of the time he gets the ball he turns it over. Actually two Bobcats - Boris Diaw and Gerald Wallace - are pretty high on this list also with 6,5 and 6,3 %.
It isn't suprising to see that Boris Diaw is leading the league in the least times shooting the ball between power forwards by taking the shot only 27,5 % of the time (Kirilenko and James are ahead of him if we take all forwards).
