Salary Cap Implications of Allen Crabbe's Contract for the Portland Trail Blazers
is significantly better ball handler and better driver in my opinion. Henderson often just did his fade away jumper with the play clock winding down. I think Evan Turner is going to be a definite upgrade to henderson, both offensively and defensively.
Jimmy Butler Practices With T-Wolves; Mayhem Ensues
So Evan Turner + 1st = nothing.
Evan Turner + 3 1sts = 2 1sts.
There’s no way that Evan Turner is worth a 1st round pick right now, or the Blazers would have traded him to get that pick. Hell, there’s no way Evan Turner is worth a 1st round pick at the trade deadline in 2020.
Outside the top 3, we know we need an immediate impact player like Batum to shine. Evan Turner is the closes we have to that; poor 3 point shooting, but a lot better defensive prowess than Batum
McCollum, Crabbe, Lillard Shine but Pistons Down Blazers in OT
Looking at the box score I have noticed that Evan Turner was a negative 9 through 4 quarters. Does he just get put in at the wrong times? He was in when Lillard and McCollum were out for the big defensive possessions. Maybe he is a magnet for all of the negative +/-’s.
