I always thought Ketih Van Horn was overrated and in truth he was just a tall player with a decent shot who was a bench player his whole career.
That's an overstatement if I've ever heard one. KVH was a #2 pick and a very respectible player his first several years in the league. He didn't become a bench player until 2004-2005 and I believe he had injury problems that year. He was unquestionably a starter his first 7 seasons, and he was a player who was considered for, (but never made) the allstar team several times. He's also a much better rebounder than Turk and KVH can do a solid pick & role and his defense wasn't as bad as his reputation.
Turk's having a nice season and if you go by one season, Turk's better. this year than KVH was overall, and obviously, Turk's a better 3 pt shooter. But for Career, I'd take KVH, flaws and all and it's not even that close. Even if you compare their best seasons, Turk this year or KVH his 2nd season in the league, y'know, I think I still take KVH, but that's close, I don't object to anyone taking Turk.
But Career, KVH wins and I don't really see how anyone can dispute this. He's one of those guys who's reputation is worse than his game.
