Turner will be just fine. He's a pro, we've seen him be a creative playmaker in Boston long enough to let him get comfortable here in Portland. We all just need to chill for awhile. We can all go back to bashing Pat and Myle, Noah's getting a pass with his improvement! I could see Turner becoming as popular as Crabbe was last year. A couple nice lobs and a few timely mid range shots will quiet the premature complainers.
One of the downfalls of last years team (and the previous Stotts coached teams) was a lack of a mid range game. Thats what Turner is good at. Not everyone has to be a 3 point shooter on the team to have a significant role.
At this point, nothing is second nature for Turner...he's overthinking and trying to anticipate where guys are on the floor...which has led to a lot of turnovers...Stotts is trying to make him improve as a shooter by telling him to shoot any good shot...probably forcing shots at this point.
I am still confused because I never saw you answer my question...... what is the difference between the two wing positions in a Terry Stotts offense?
The same as the difference between CJ and Crabbe or Turner. CJ is a SG (not a PG BTW) and they're both SFs
So if someone can't score or dribble as well as CJ, theyre not a SG? So is Wesley Matthews not a SG??? There's no difference between SG and SF, except that SFs are usually a little bigger, and SGs are a little quicker. Crabbe and Turner are big and quick enough to okay both. Why do you think they can't play this "exclusive" SG position?
Exactly. Wes and Nic in Terry's offense worked well together because they complemented each other. One could spread the floor and the other had some handles. With Dame at PG it worked. But to label one specifically as a SF and the other as a SG was not necessary. You could have easily reversed it. I think ET and Crabbe can be similar off the bench with CJ. (ore even Napier if needed)
Exactly. It's good to have one ball handling wing and a spot up shooting wing. Nic was the ball handler, Wes was the spot up shooter. Turner is a poor man's Batum and Crabbe is a poor man's Wes. Theyre not as good as those 2, but they're coming off the bench too..
Stupid school called the cops. "Well, hello there Miss... Tskitishvili?? (dafaq???) i hope you didn't suffer any major knee injuries in the past!"
His midrange shooting is awful. Worst shooting form in the league. HENDERSON was a good midrange shooter.
