Brad should start Turner and bring Thomas off the bench until Smart comes back.
Starting two small guards really hurts our defense, and Thomas hogs the ball.

I am also concerned about IT's inefficient shooting woes.  Waiting for him to snap out of it, but it has not happened yet.

No, trade Turner for a third-rounder  ;D

I kind of agree.


I'd like to see Turner and Bradley as the starting back court with Isaiah and Marcus coming off the bench.

Until Smart comes back?

There's a very good chance Smart doesn't get starter minutes without AB or IT4 getting injured.

No thanks.

The sooner Turner is gone, the better, IMO.

I agree, and also I despise Evan Turner. Smart's absence is huge. Crowder's gotten fewer steals a game and we lack toughness defensively. IT is great. He's awesome to watch and is a great scorer, but we can't start every game by giving up a quick 6 points because of IT's subpar presence defensively. Rather than reduce IT's strength as a scorer and destroyer of seconds units, start Turner for 5 minutes then put him on the bench. Send him to the hallway to to do spin moves. I dont care. But we can't let teams get hot from the gate.

I agree but because I just think Thomas is best off the bench.  You can see his stats and efficiency trending down some.  He is a good player but I feel he would be best against other second units.  He should still get his minutes.

I think Turner-Bradley would be a little better than Thomas-Bradley as starters until Smart comes back.  I like Smart starting when he can.  Turner is a very versatile player and that is a big plus for him.

I don't understand all the hate for Evan Turner.
His size allows us to switch pick and rolls, he makes Bradley better, and he fills up the stat sheet.

I think Turner is a pretty good player. We won a lot of games with him starting, and he hit some big shots in the clutch.
