Celtics’ Preseason Opener at Risk for Turner

Evan Turner needs this preseason as much as anybody on the Boston Celtics. He came into camp at great risk of losing much of his role from last season. Turner was a primary ball handler on the starting unit and Brad Stevens allowed him to take control of the offense.

The results were frustrating to say the least. Turner lead the team with 5.5 assists per game. On top of that, He lead the team in triple doubles and game winning shots. Stevens saw something in Turner and give him free reign to dictate much of the offense.
