This isnt Kareem Rush? Oh excuse me. Think I entered the wrong thread. Anyway, not short changing Evan Turner. Just saying he has a ways to go before he can play PG at the next level. And by PG I mean bring the ball up and get an offense started. Handles and decision making need work and I agree I believe he can work and improve this. He did a good job taking on the PG duties for OSU but turned it over a great deal. Doug Collins mentioned Scottie Pippen had better handles than Evan Turner coming out of college. Pippen ended up a point forward. Turner has a ways to go but I believe he'll get there.

It's a message board I know, but a little discretion would seem to me to be advisable when creating topics to keep the main board from being jumbled with frivolous things like this.
The guy with 37 posts is now the ISH police. Is not the draft coming up? Is it not the off-season? Is this not a basketball topic? Wasn't this worthy of being a headline story on SI ? Worthy of SI but not the ISH ? Worthy of being talked about elsewhere but not on the ISH ?
Calm down guy. Don't get your little skivies in a bunch.
Bottom line, the consensus is that John Wall will be the pick. Thus, when a NBA Hall of Fame candidate says that the pick should be just the opposite of what the consensus seems to be.... thats news.

Re: Reggie Miller says Evan Turner will be better than John Wall
I see way more time at small forward in the NBA for Turner than point guard.

Yeah, I'm so used to them being wrong that I take pretty much everything they say with a grain of salt nowadays.

Re: Reggie Miller says Evan Turner will be better than John Wall
I sure hope he is right.
Then again, it's Reggie and I'm here praying he didn't jinx us.

Yeah, I think he'll win ROY, just not up to Tyreke's numbers. Tyreke's jump shot was similar to what Turner's is now. They are both strange looking jumpers, but they worked in the NBA. Maybe a bad way to judge, just watching there pre draft workouts, they both look great.

Reggie Miller said that the Lakers would win 70+
Former players never make sense when talking about current players.

Re: Reggie Miller says Evan Turner will be better than John Wall
Not sure why he thinks turner has more upside than wall. Wall easily has the better future if they both reach their potentials and nearly everyone would agree with me on that one.

Bro, you started this thread because you are some weirdo John Wall hater who scoures the internet all day looking for anything that in some way disparages the kid. You didn't create a thread when Majic Johnson called him special and said that the Wizards MUST take him or when Roy Williams called him the best point guard that college basketball has seen since Jason Kidd. You didn't start a thread when Rick Pitino likened his end of game heroics to Kobe Bryant or when Rod Strickland said that the kid just had "it" and would be a great player in the league. That's your prerogative obviously, but your agenda is clearly visible and easily discernible, so stop trying to play it off like you're some unbiased news purveyor who happened to stumble across this quote and thought that you'd share it with all of us here at ISH.
Btw, I was probably wrong to question whether or not this was important enough to be a thread on the main board, I mean, it's not like it's out of place with SOME of the other content on the MB.

I like Evan Turner more than John Wall. Evan Turner would be to Tim Duncan what John Wall will be to Amare Stoudemimre.
