TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[KillerLeft]

Myles is not the kind of player I am looking to get with unlocked picks.  A two way wing should be the primary target for that.  Turner is a good player, and a very good defensive player, but he is often injured, does not address our rebounding issues, does not have the game to punish teams for going small, and like Gobert some of his defensive impact can be mitigated by 5 out.  He is not the guy I want to burn our future assets for.

I can buy this thinking, I really can. I have had similar thoughts in the past. 

However, and I'm not trying to argue, the point where we turn away from Turner, to me, means that we're turning away from anything remotely resembling the type of center 55%-60% of this board thinks we desperately need. At least, that's how I see it. 

For the record, I'm fine with that. Then again, I'm still so shocked by Powell's playoff run that I'm wondering if he was injured. I would've thought he'd have been MUCH better against PHX and GSW. I, myself, would be fine trying to improve with another player like him, not going anywhere near a more traditional big. 

But, of all the traditional(ish) guys, I think Turner is my favorite. The personality and injury issues do worry me some, however.
