Turner hasn't gotten a ton of talk on the OSU boards because I think most do not know much about him but if I could describe him, the first thing that comes to mind is a versatile player who does everything well. |
Besides his ability to play the PG a little how would you compare him to Diebler?

Someone already mentioned it earlier but Grant Hill is really comes to mind...
He is a guy that can score off dribble or shoot if need be, he can distribute the ball, and he is long and athletic to play D, and also seems to have that desire to be good as you could tell with his desire to prove that he was better than Rose in their matchups...
To Diebler it is a difficult comparison b/c I think they are the same in some respects, but Diebler is a real good shooter and do other things if need be...Turner does everything on the floor well...
Hope this makes sense...  |

Thats what he sounds like to from the reading about him. Grant was so skinny his freshman year but, that one-handed ally-oop dunk in a NCAA game was one of the best college dunks that I can remember. |

Not sure  Diebler had different responsibilities for his team which put him in a bad situation especially on D. I think what you are trying to say without putting words in your mouth is that Turner is a better athlete at this point in time and has a better all-around game right now but again I do not think that is fair to Jon

Yeah I can agree with this, but the thing is both of these kids are very smart players, which can put you ahead of other players that might have a better skill set... |

rereading this analysis of turner from last year's abcd camp, i can't help but think that he's going to be a major factor next year:

Turner is a legit find for OSU. At 6'7", he's got an ideal frame for a college small forward, and like the rest of his Illinois Wolves teammates on the Mavs (McCamey, Fay, etc), he's extremely polished and knows his role. He had one sick spin move while driving to the lane that he made look too easy. Not the flashiest wing player in camp (see Walker, Bill), but he's perhaps the most ready to contribute.

Nice find. I guess if Cook leaves Turner will fit in nicely.
