Evan Turner makes our two best players significantly worse, why do we still play him?

    It includes two players that are on the court all the time, so if Lillard/CJ has a much worse net rating with Turner than without, than that's reflective of the teams overall play and that Turner makes us worse.

    Glass half full: If Nurk doesn't miss a couple easy layups, or if Evan Turner scores more than 0 points, the Blazers beat Boston.

    Glass half empty: Nurk always misses easy layups. Turner has scored less than 10 points in 31 of Portland's 53 games. Both are starters.

    You can post anything you want and I can assume you are trolling when you ask questions to which have been answered. That’s the trolling way after all.
    And I was joking about being to new around here.
    Aren’t almost all trolls new?

    I Don't like his style of play and certainly not his contract, but credit where credit is due, he's doing pretty well as a leader of the 2nd Unit so far, hope he can keep this level

    Evan Turner's play will never justify his paycheck. That said, Turner us KILLING right now.

    Yeah he has some stupid plays, bad shot selection and sometimes unnecessary turnovers, but the 2nd Unit has been much better than we all expected and he also plays overall good. At least he has a little bit of Value for the Team

    Turner doesn't have bad shot selection IMO.

    I'll give him some rope on the shots since he's made a big difference with the second unit. Besides he likes that right side of the floor and probably practices that jumper over and over. Stotts gives a lot of freedom on the offensive side of the ball and only cares that it was an uncontested shot.....unless you're Dame or CJ.

    38.5% of his shots come from within 3 feet of the basket. His average shot distance is 9 feet. He is shooting 54% from the field.

    Not buying it.
