Evan Turner taking on a versatile role for Hawks

For Evan Turner, being a versatile player isn’t necessarily something he takes pride in u2060— it’s just how he’s always been.

“You are who you are,” Turner said Thursday at Hawks training camp. “I try to do whatever I can on the floor. It just is what it is. Just fit in where you fit in, whether 1, 2 or 3, or guarding 1 through 3, or sometimes 4, coach (Lloyd Pierce) said, it is what it is.”

The Hawks acquired Turner, a 30-year-old swingman, from the Portland Trailblazers in exchange for Kent Bazemore in June.

In Turner, the Hawks got a backup point guard behind Trae Young.
