If Even Turner would play at an even solid level it is a no brainer. After preseason I thought this was a steal of a deal AND guy should be in running for 6th man of the year. Knowing his lackluster defense I still thought he was still a great find.
Well the defense is worse than any wing/guard on roster
which is a good thing for thornton as he has been working nicely on defense. Turner has looked inconsistent on offense, lots of BAD turnovers. I love that he can fill a stat sheet but would prefer less turnovers (or at least better? turnovers) and more effort on defense. Turner playing at a level which he should be able to (paul pierce light) than it should be all his minutes off the bench, or starting over bradley, and smart, thornton and wallace fighting over scrap minutes. Pressey seems like good guy, works hard and runs the break nicely but he's a fringe nba player. For him to stay he has to get 3 pt range and become a very good shooter.
I for one like what wallace brings, grit, hustle, good passer, defender and rebounder. Just can't/won't shoot a lick.
I think our main problem just about down the line is that our team is currently set up as mostly assets waiting for a trade. We have rondo, green and maybe sully. Then I can't distinguish between the players. All are bench guys and about the same level. Wallace brings as much to a team as turner but in different ways. Bass good solid big off the bench, who's better bass, kelly, sully? Not one of them has really stepped up (edge to sully imo).
i digress ….don't worry my glass is always half full. We are throwing games, rondos in on the deal with ainge and stevens. We make playoffs just barely get a good draft pick, make a great trade etc.
