My 2 cents on Turner:
He's another 3&D player that can't put the ball down and make a play. Will probably be a negative on offense, unless he shows something we haven't seen so far in IND. Can't playmake, mediocre rim-running ability. We're reliying on his 35% career 3-pt shooting for him to become something here.
Defensively he's a beast. Oviously great shotblocking ability (bites on a lot of fakes and gives up tons of offensive rebounds chasing stats) but need a rebounder next to him to be effective. Have seen him guard 1-5 effectively and he's a lot better on switches than our man KP. Pairing KP-Turner would be far from ideal (except it's a major upgrade in talent).
To me he's not a game-changer and not a guy i'd pursue with our current asset/roster situation. Unless KP is going somewhere, it's really hard to see him being here. And if Kp's going somewhere, we definetely need to address another good offensive piece out of our lineup (we'd be left with only Luka/JB as our offensive pieces).
