Evan Turner could put up 20/5/5 this year. His mid-range game is so nice too; it's rare to see that in a player his age.
Turner has the best shot off the dribble. He has a lot of moves, but his mid range jumper needs to be more consistent.
Agreed. He does have some things to work on, but I was consistently impressed with his ability to beat the first man off the dribble and score in the lane in the soft spot before getting challenged by the bigs down low. I don't know if you consider that "mid-range game" or not, but it seems like something you don't see too often with young players.
I would have said Cousins but I don't think Sacramento is the best place for his long term development. Of course I want Cousins to be a Rocket, but the basketball fan in me just wants him to go somewhere that has a strong system and good veterans to put around him so he starts at a young age getting a professional influence. I see Tyreke Evans as a guy who gets buy a lot on athletic gifts but doesn't do a lot within an basketball offensive/defensive system and that's a problem when your trying to bring in another strong willed guy who wants to do what he wants too and is seeing the star doing what he wants. Tim Duncan didn't become "Mr Fundamental" because the Spurs let him do what he wanted - Pop made him bend to the system and he became a better basketball player from it. Same with Tony Parker. I think that's what Cousins needs but I'm not convinced Paul Westphal is going to provide that environment judging by the way they have handled Tyreke. I could be wrong, but I doubt it...
