Evan Turner is a better pg than i thought

[Tr1boy]

 ET looks like a good fit as the starting pg for team. His ability to score and make baskets after receiving passes from our bigs is refreshing to see . Clutch basket over Hinrich.

He had a good game last night but he is as inconsistent and sloppy as they come.

He is more sloppy as a sg, sf. But pretty good at taking care of the ball when he plays the pt

[Evantime34]

Last night he was a good point guard, he was quick and decisive with his decisions. All of the other games before that he has over dribbled, left his feet for passes and turned the ball over way too much

He still did some of that.  I don't think he was as good as some say.  Especially at the end of the game he made some dumb plays and we couldn't score.  There were a couple possessions where he was out of control and just fell over in the paint and lost possession.  I certainly don't like him as your main PG.  Not that we had any other options really.

I do think we need someone to attack the rim and he does that some so I guess he needs some minutes but I just hate how he leaves his feet and gets into situations without an idea of what to do next.

A team with him as our actual PG?  That's a scary situation.

I was very impressed with him last night.  As a matter of fact, I've been impressed with him since he became a Celtic, and I think he will be an important part of the rotation. 

People have been extremely down on him, and while I agree that he has his flaws, I also think he has some good skills, like being an extra ball handler, creator, and scorer, that will help this team. 

[Rosco917]

the addition of PG duties to his skills set, plus his contract, make his trade value much higher.

He's actually can play PG, although certainly not a starter. Teams that don't have 4 PG's may come knocking. He's only 25 years old too. 

[loco_91]

Hopefully he'll keep having some decent games so we can trade him. In the meantime he's a better option than Pressey, but he's far from starter talent.

[rondohondo]

so in the last week you have stated that Smart, Pressey , and Turner are all better options as the starting PG over Rondo(3 time all-star, NBA champion, Great leader on the court (Just ask Keyon  Dooling KG Pierce and many others he has played with) , and leads the league in assists on a team that is # 1 overall in assists

There's a reason Turner was a high lottery pick.  His brain has yet to catch up to that talent.

So one night, these posters are calling him terrible and wonder why he's getting minutes, next night he's the best thing since sliced bread.

I didnt call him terrible before. We picked him up on a big discount. Im just glad he is on the team

Does this mean you're angling to sign Hasheem Thabeet?

[Neurotic Guy]

Not a starter, but he adds value to this team.  He will make mistakes and have some terrible games, but overall he's worth having here.    He reminds me of Tony Allen with the ball in his hands.  Unlike Tony, he isn't a defensive player (though I think he's done OK), and he has much better offensive skills.  However, I am always uncomfortable to see him dribble and try to create.  I think he is an impulse guy (like TA) and might very well settle down and play smarter as he gets older.
