9 Days Philadelphia 76ers Former 76ers GM Tony DiLeo reportedly "wanted to keep" Evan Turner, who is under contract next season and has an $8.7 million team option for 2014-15. New GM Sam Hinkie is thought to revere advanced statistical measures, however, which are none too kind to Turner (including a paltry .035 'win shares per 48 minutes' this season). Turner clashed with coach Doug Collins, so Collins' departure could be good for the former No 2. overall pick, but don't be surprised to hear Turner's name in trade rumors in the coming months. | 12 Days Philadelphia 76ers Evan Turner admitted to clashing with former head coach Doug Collins. Collins and Turner never seemed to get on the same page during their tenure together. Turner "often looked to" assistant Michael Curry to "smooth the waters" between Collins and himself. A new coach might be able to unlock some of Turner's potential, but next season is shaping up as a make-or-break year for the former No. 2 overall pick. | 1 Month Philadelphia 76ers Evan Turner believes he'll be back with the Sixers next season and says he's "just tapping the surface" of his ability. Turner ended his third NBA season with an extremely inconsistent month of April, failing to shoot over 38 percent in six of the nine games. He was the No. 2 overall pick in 2010, so no one is doubting the talent, but he's been completely unable to put it together since joining the NBA. Turner is not worth drafting in most fantasy formats next year and it wouldn't be surprising if he's either replaced or traded in the offseason. | 1 Month Philadelphia 76ers Evan Turner missed all 11 shots and didn't score vs. Washington on Friday, adding four boards, seven assists, one steal and one block. After it looked like he was coming around earlier this month, he's been dreadful on offense in his last three games, failing to shoot over 33 percent in any of those contests. Turner won't be worth drafting next season and the Sixers should probably swallow their pride and draft a wing to supplant him. | 1 Month Philadelphia 76ers Evan Turner played through his ankle injury on Tuesday and hit 3-of-10 shots and a 3-pointer for 11 points, three boards and five assists in 28 minutes. He suffered the injury on Saturday but played through it, so it looks like he's good to go going forward. | 1 Month Philadelphia 76ers Evan Turner twisted his left ankle during Saturday's game, but he was able to return and finish with 14 points, five boards, five assists and one turnover. He didn't have any 3s, steals or blocks, but he knocked down 6-of-10 field goals and owners have to be pleased that he avoided any serious injury. He's been inconsistent all year, but with mid-round value in the past month he's worth starting in average fantasy leagues. We'll put him on the injury list as a precaution in case his ankle worsens overnight. | 2 Months Philadelphia 76ers Evan Turner played well in Friday's win against Cleveland, scoring 23 points with 13 boards, four assists and two 3-pointers on 9-of-17 shooting in 38 minutes. He's shooting 38 percent from the field since February 1, but he's shot over 50 percent in each of his last two games. Before you think about picking him back up, the Cavs allow the highest field goal percentage in the NBA. Turner still belongs on the wire in most standard leagues. | |
