Ohio State’s Evan Turner continued his hot start last night by recording his 2nd triple-double of the young season in a win over Lipscomb.
The junior guard is now averaging 20.6 points to go along with 7 assist and just under 14 rebounds a game in the Buckeyes first five contests.
Turner, who has been forced into the point guard role this year due to the lack of ball handlers on the OSU squad, has done a great job distributing the ball and getting his teammates open looks thus far. This experience will greatly benefit his play-making ability at the next level when he will be moved off the ball.
I currently have Turner rated as the 4th best prospect in this years draft. His versatility will be a welcome addition to any team. With his skill-set he will be able to contribute right away in any system.
I also want to pass along a great piece that ESPN’s Dana O’Neil wrote about the tough times that Turner faced while growing up.
We know how great of a player that Turner is on the court but this article shed’s light on how terrific of a young man that he is off the court as well.
