Your Morning Dump… Where Evan Turner for Sixth Man of the Year?

Turner leads the NBA in most games off the bench with 10-plus points, five-plus rebounds, and five-plus assists – he’s got 10 of them. He also leads the NBA in assists coming off the bench with 277.

Brad Stevens trusts Turner late in games maybe more than anybody, which is why despite the fact he doesn’t start, he’s fourth in the NBA in fourth-quarter minutes with 591.

He’s also third in the NBA in fourth-quarter assists with 107, behind NBA assists leader Rajon Rondo and starting point guard John Wall.

Evan Turner has definitely come around this year.
