I don't really know either way. It kind of feels like Turner is regressing a bit this season, or at least not making a big improvement.
Something isn't right in Indy. Is Paul George not a superstar? Is Turner's defense bad?
Turners numbers look great but something feels off.
I agree that the whole is less than the sum of the parts there. But Turner's net plus-minus is +11...maybe he's not the problem.
He's still 20. If he plateaus right now, he's a good get for a draft pick in the 5-10 range. If he improves, he's as good as you can reasonably hope for with a top 5 pick, unless you get really lucky.
For me, it seems like a good deal because the Nets HAVE to find a way to get better by next year.
They have to.
Right?
Because if they don't then we may have traded two over-the-hill stars for three top 3 picks in a row. I can't even believe that as I'm typing it.
