can turner be looked at like a rookie, as he's playing point now,His
 rebounding has been a plus but he does make some very very poor passes,what does that stem from.Considering that this is new team,new position with rotation changes,can we expect more improvement as season goes on.Pressey gives everything he's got but isn't there a taller point guard   with speed-how tall is frazier on red claws.

he's been in the league for a while so no one will look at him as a rookie. However, I think BS did a good job in helping him grow or potentially increase his trade value like he did with Crawford. He was decent when he was with the 76ers, but misused in Indiana (probably his spat with Lance). Think the Celtics was exactly what he needed to turn his image around.

Turner gets stripped in the paint a lot, so he needs to figure out how to drive without getting trapped.

I would like to see him and Pressey only at the point. I don't think Smart is a point guard.

I think the Cs are helping Turner remake his image. By playing him at PG I think they are setting him up to be moved to a team where he can be a sixth man/primary second unit ball handler. On a team with a shoot first PG like the bobcats with Kemba turner could come off the bench and allow the point and SG to play off the ball and get open for shots. If GS didnt already have AI in this role he would be a cheap fit there.

my reference to turner being rookie was only at point and his development there,Its different skill sets and hoping for improvement at this position,I have previously mentioned him having trouble in paint, also it seems he needs more zip on passes, they at times look slow ,indecisive or lazy.As turner gets more secure maybe his off season will improve his game.I think he needs to have point guard coach work on behind back,crossover and reverse pivot,just shorten and quicken up his moves.His chemistry on bounce passes and ally oops can only get netter with time  and experience.All in all another very good ainge move
