Josiah Turner

Go to Google and look up "Deron Williams Skills Academy 2011". I was trying to post the link, but it was entering the SPAM filter (because after over 2500 posts, I decided too try and sell DVD’s and hock cr@p on here).

Check the "College Rosters". Turner is in it. I am sure people will be FLIPPING that Tony Wroten Jr. measured at 6’6.5, but remember these are measurements with shoes and are not always the same measurements one would get at the draft combine (especially with wingspan). This draft is pretty weak on PG’s though, and maybe scouts noted that they were impressed with Turner. I think he certainly has a chance too be one of the first PG’s off of the board in 2012.

 Crazy that a guy who was not a McDonalds All-American can come in and be a one-and-done.  Is that a reflection on a deep class or the flawed selection committee?  My guess would be the the latter of the two.  But I don’t see it being that weak of a PG just a shallow one.  I think the point guards at the top show a lot of promise.

He kind of got kicked off of his HS team, hence the probable reason he was left off of the McDonald’s All-American Roster, as he was considered a lock. I do not think a player getting kicked off his team is a flaw in the system, and there are one and done players who indeed have not made the McDonald’s game. John Wall, for instance, could not participate in the game due too technically being considered a Post Grad. I agree there is a flaw in selection at times, and there were some questionable choices this year. But, I think certain guys get left off for disciplinary reasons, and grades could also play a part.

^ A bit of both

But there is no way Quinn Cook, Quintavious Caldwell-Pope and even my fellow Buckeye Shannon Scott are better than Josiah.  And I only counted the guards, there are a few more fowards or Centers who are not as good as Mr. Turner.

 I didn’t know he had issues with his high school team.  Deandre Jordan was a one-and-done with out being a McDonalds All-American as well.

Yeh but Deandre Jordan is 6’11. We all know plenty of big men who came out too early.

I still think Wroten is the cream of the crop.

 Is Wroten a PG? I’ve never seen him play so I just figured he was a two-guard after everything I’ve read about him.

Wroten is/ will be a PG. He is a willing passer who can really drop some dimes. Tries a little too hard to be flashy with his passes, but that will get better with age and experience. Just youtube him. Plenty of highlights and actual game film.

He has great court vision and will be a legit PG http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MU9S1ADUCmg

I have questions about how he’ll fit with Abdul Gaddy. Gaddy is a more sound decision maker than Wroten and more of a pure PG, so unless he isn’t ready to play at Washington after his ACL injury or is noticeably less effective, I think Gaddy will be the PG for Washington.

At the NBA level what do you project him at then?

A combo guard. I think he’ll play both guard spots in the pros.
