Evan Turner was arguably the Celtics' MVP last year. So as one of the few veteran leaders on a young squad, his words should be taken seriously.
One of objectives for the Celts, who finished 7th last season in the East, should be climbing up the ranks in the now extremely competitive conference. Turner though, isn't one to find joy out of just creeping up a few spots in the playoff race:
Evan Turner was asked if 5th in East is goal: “That might as well not even be a goal, right? If I say I want to finish 5th, that’s terrible”
The five-year veteran has a valid point.
