He doesn't look very sharp in this game. 5 TO's in the first half already. His jump shot looks busted too. He doesn't get any arc on the ball, I'm surprised every time his jump shot gets above the front of the rim.

Turner played pretty good 2nd half.

Had some To's first half, but then again what can you expect from a 6"7 pg who is playing out of position.

I got him as my #2 prospect all the way

He definitely turned it on in the 2nd half. I'd like to see him be aggressive like this more often.

Wow he is a special player. He plays D, pass, rebound, split double teams, can knock down the jumper, attack the basket, and get to the stripe. He is #2 on my board

Turner is a baller and can easily be go-to guy in the nba, his game fits pro level, the way he gets to the rim is special, he's agressive scorer and rebounder(especially offensively) and his turnovers actually show his agressiveness and workrate he puts on the floor.

we will need a top 2 pick to get him, unless some team really needs a big and goes for favors/Ed Davis

I'd trade Jefferson for him if we get screwed in the lottery.

Hopefully we can get him for Rubio + other picks (if we get screwed)

This is my dream. i'd take Turner and then trade Flynn for Johnson if possible, using the Utah pick or even the Bobs pick as sweetener if necessary.

turner and wesley are both such good rebounders too....

Turner is more of the slasher guy, and Johnson more the outside shooter. I just think they would mesh so well together, and are more nba ready, because they aren't 19 year old kids.

I think it's possible to get both, we have the assets/players/picks/prospects to do it

aaaahhhhh come on! just trade jefferson for Turner, Flynn for Johnson, draft Aldrich, ride Sessions till Rubio comes over and go forward with Rubio-Turner-Johnson-Love-Aldrich, all guys are good to excellent passers and good defenders and rebounders.

well, it depends on what other team needs, plus Johnson is not a lock to go top 5 and there are 2 more picks to sweeten the deal.

Turner or Xavier Henry is what I want most because we all know we won't get the No.1 pick(esp. with our luck) which NJ will use on John Wall. Johnson seems too much like a Corey Brewer, which we already have.

just seems too much of a tweener, idk, I don't trust him. I want more of a guy that can go with Brewer thats more of a scoring guard as Brewer is not.

Johnson isn't really similar to Brewer.

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.
