This quote about the guy he's competing with for playing time says the world about Turner. Evan sounds like a very unselfish guy and a great teammate.

Yup that was what I was getting in my post as well... |

Paging MaxBuck 
I just hope Turner does not get over zealous with his outside shooting and remembers to take it to the rack also. I think this is what Lighty needs to be doing more of.

Guys, it's true that Diebler and Turner seem to have very good chemistry; if Diebler is on the floor I really want to see Turner there too, if for no other reason than they seem to be able to feed off one another. Chemistry has been in somewhat short supply on this squad.

Totally agree. I can't understand why but the chemistry doesn't seem as great as it has in the past two years under Matta. Do we have too many players vying for playing time at two different positions or what is it? I can't put my finger on it but it doesn't seem like the guys get along (may be poor choice of words) every game like they have in the past.

IMO it has to do with guys just trying to fit into their roles, you have guys that have never played with a 7 footer that likes to play outside, some havent played with a pg that scores the ball as much as Butler, and some have to adapt their game to do some things they haven't done before...
That is why it is best to just believe in your teammates and to never criticize and to continue to believe in your teammates much like Turner has been doing... |

The "chemistry" that I am talking about is that it almost seems like they really don't get along very well... almost like a friendship. It was better yesterday but in past games it just seemed strained.
