Do you guys think Turner is lower just because he runs funny?

Do you guys think Turner is lower just because he runs funny?

Yes. There are a lot of questions about why he runs funny, and what impact it will have on health. To me he moves everything (legs, hips, arms, neck, torso etc) awkwardly, but I admit I base that on a small sample size. He just didn't look or move like a NBA player.

IRT, the comparison, the difference in FG% jumps off the page. .46% is okay for a wing, but not so much for a 4/5. Turner is very intriguing, but I'd be nervous taking him.

He shoots many more 3s and jumpers than Towns, that drops the % a lot. His TS% is not bad at all, though, for a raw freshman - 56%... but in general yeah... he's not the least risky pick in the draft. I'd say he's high risk/high reward pick. He needs a lot of work on his low post game.

To me the biggest appeal in his game is the combination of defensive potential(especially as a rim protector) and potential to stretch the floor. There are very very few players in the league that can do both.

and he has no other basketball clothes... Why you gotta crap on everyone. That's a decent thing to notice.

How is that crapping on someone?

It's me noticing a reason for something.

As for Locke, he needs to learn that numbers can only get you so far. They can't tell the whole story, and like others have pointed out, they can't take into account for certain variables.

Locke watches games too.

Is Locke not allowed to have his own opinion?

 

[orangello]

sheesh. Ok, try again. sorry.

It finally worked!

Payne is probably my favorite prospect this week. He's just so smooth.

Hasn't he said he hates the college game and doesn't watch much?

Yes. Lmao, Cy saying stuff for no reason.

Steve kyler has a lot of good info today. Nice stuff about hood and players. He thinks Exum will be better than Mudiay.

That's what I was hoping for.

I saw that too. I hope it's true.

I think that is interesting because after the Magic drafted Gordon and traded for Payton, Kyler talked a lot about how raw Exum was and that the Magic didn't want to wait for him to develop or something along those line. Before the draft he talked about how special Dante was and how good he would be. It seems as if his mind has been changed again. I think the Magic might be regretting the Gordon draft already.
