So does Danny trade Evan Turner or give Perry Jones a legitimate shot in NBA?

Young had better D-League stats as a (younger) rookie, so he is arguably beginning his career arc from a higher starting point than Jones.  He has also whiffed in fewer opportunities, so he has fewer strikes against him, which leads to having greater future trade value.  If Young proved he was hot garbage last season, then PJ3 proved that he was even hotter garbage in almost twice as many NBA minutes.

You are massively overrating the value of "freakish physical gifts".

Too early to say.  Let's see how PJ 3 looks in training camp and the preseason first. 

I do think Evan Turner gets undue criticism on this board; however, I also think that he doesn't have much of a future here beyond next year.  I also think his value is probably at its highest point after a pretty good year last year and that it will only decrease as Smart and Thomas get the ball in their hands more this year. 

So that said, if Danny feels that PJ3 plays well enough this training camp to show that he may have a long term future here, I'm fine with Danny trading away Turner (and potentially even cutting him).  But if PJ3 fails to impress, I'm 100% onboard with Turner being here another year and potentially even starting.
