Evan Turner: Sixth Man of the Year

There are true 6th men (6th on the team in mpg) and there are masked crusader 6th men (he subs for a decoy starter who gets token minutes). I haven't checked, but how many on that list were pretend substitutes like Turner is for Layman? That would tell me whether voters fall for it.

We played a near-perfect game tonight against an elite team. If we end in the elite, Turner might get some votes from national TV visibility. But not if our record is the same as last year.

But since your super-scientific prediction method has us as a 57-win team this year, that shouldn't be a problem, right?

He's basically Lonzo Ball with defense.

That's actually a really good comparison for Lonzo. Well, not so great for Lonzo, but it's accurate.

Right down to each being the #2 overall pick in his draft class.

Give credit to Stotts for figuring out how to use him.

Has he forgotten how to use him recently? Is that who we should blame now since we were giving him credit then?

Honest question.

Honest question.

Turners most productive month was when his usage was the lowest (but still saw 20+ minutes)

So far in March he’s seeing only 13 minutes a game, and his usage is way down. So maybe Stotts should share some blame.

The general feeling I have is Stotts doesn’t get the most out of players not named Dame and CJ, so I’m not sure he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Turner has nursed some injuries this year but he has not improved at all since coming back from injury. I think he would be doing a little better if Jake was hitting some shots. I also think he would be doing better with Zach rather than Kanter. But not enough better to warrant bringing him back next year.
