STRENGTHS:
Evan Turner was an outstanding college player, probably the best in the country in his final season. He has the poise of a leader and is always willing to take the big shot. He has a good short mid-range jump shot and plays well in the post against smaller guards. He's not a great finisher, but is crafty enough around the basket to get some points. Turner's also a very smart player. He doesn't foul much on defense and stays down on his man. On offense, he makes intelligent and deliberate basketball plays, often finding open teammates. Turner has a bit of an isolation game, too, able to lull his opponent into giving him a decent look at a jumper or commanding help defense to find a teammate.
WEAKNESSES:
Turner's fairly limited athletically. For a guy who plays like a PG and probably wants to be a PG, he's not very quick. He struggles to keep up with swingmen and isn't very strong, either. He also struggles to finish above the rim. Turner's other big knock is his jump shot. He's absolutely money from 12-14 feet, but his accuracy declines on longer 2s and he's a very poor 3-point shooter. Overall, what you have in Evan Turner is a guy who has a ton of talent and good instincts for the game, but who needs the ball to be effective and isn't very effective with it. As such, he probably has limited potential on the offensive end, and won't give you much on defense, either.
