Player Spotlight:Evan Turner

Evan Turner had to go through a lot of hardship as a child. He was very sick all throughout his childhood. In his first year of being alive he had Chicken Pox, Pneumonia, Asthma, and Measles. He was in the Emergency Room every other week. This was not the last of his misfortune. He was hit by a car at the age of three, resulting in a concussion and stitches.

Throughout all of his problems he turned out to be an incredible basketball star. The Buckeye star has incredible size for a shooting guard(6'7). He can handle the rock as well as anybody in the draft. He is the best at driving to the rim in this draft class. His biggest weakness is his jump shooting. He is able to knock down the mid range shot, but not as consistently as most NBA starters. The good news is that shooting is the easiest thing to fix. It is the intangibles that Turner possess that will make him an incredible talent in the basketball world. His incredible wingspan(7 feet),he has an uncanny knack for getting to the free throw line and has the leadership to lead his team to the NBA championship.
