    I was thinking, I don’t like the Roy comparison since Turner doesn’t have his shot but is a better rebounder. I like the Pippen comparison but what about Iggy? Except less athletic. Rebounds passes and scores very well, big enough to play the 3 and play it extremely well. Neither have a great shot either but both can be a point forward. Just a thought

    No matter what, you are going to say “except”…

    Pippin was more athletic, taller, longer and had better range.
    Roy and Johnson have better range.
    Iguodala is more athletic.

    You can’t find a perfect comparison. I think the best comparison is a Roy/Johnson type with less range.

    He’s a mix of Penny and Grant Hill.

    He doesn’t defend like Iguodala can and has. Athleticism is a big part of Iguodala’s game, so him being like a less athletic Iguodala is taking away from the comparison. Brandon Roy is my comparison for Turner.

    the afernee comparison and people dont give enuff credit for his athleticism give him lane and he’ll dunk on u and he’s big and long and quick and most people come in the league wit limited range to and i think he’s a point in the league or can play alot of it

    I also like the Penny comparison. He reminds me more of B. Roy though. I remember when Roy came into the league… They didn’t know if he’d be a point or play off guard.

    maybe because history has shown that all these guys arent gonna become superstars. look at the past 10 or even more years and see how many end up becoming stars ?…according to some of ya’ll this draft class will have at least 5 hall of famers. how you figure hes better then hill right now because he does what he does against college guys?..also he doesnt have the same defense that hill had. hill was one of the top defenders in college basketball. turner isnt. this must be one of the best draft in history sinc ei see comparisions to
    rose
    amare
    zach randoplh
    penny
    brook lopez

    chances are alot high that most of these guys will be like
    tyrus thomas
    david lee
    kendrick perkins
    brenden haywood
    mike conley

    its not hating its looking at history and being realistic and alot of these comparisions just arent realistic. i can understand the people saying maybe but the ones who are for sure thats how these guys will turn out are delusional

    Quincey does have a point of people making pretty crazy comparisons. Thats why I’m a fan of the best case/worst case ranking comparisons. It kind of puts unrealistic comparisons in check because you just sound ingnorant to say best case Michael Jordan worst case Corey Benjamin because the middle is just too vast. I think Evan Turner is a best case Grant Hill worst case Corey Brewer.

    Brewer was playing on those stacked Florida teams and didn’t have to do nearly as much as Turner. Noah and Horford were killing on the glass and Brewer in college averaged about 5 rbs and 3 assists his Jr. year in about 7 less minutes per game than Turner. Brewer is averaging about 13 points 4 rbs and 2 assists in his 3rd year after a slow start, they are both tall shooting guard/small forwards who can do a little bit of everything and have about the same range. I don’t see how that is a worse worst case scenario than a guy who averages 17 points 7 rbs and 6 assists and averaged 20 points a game in his 4th year.
