LAS VEGAS — The road through professional basketball has been anything but easy so far for former Bowling Green star Justin Turner.
His name wasn’t called in last year’s NBA Draft, and he played sparingly in last year’s Summer League with the San Antonio Spurs. The Westchester Knicks drafted Turner into the G-League, but cut him loose within weeks because the parent team in New York already had a surplus of young guards.
Turner found a home with the Motor City Cruise, the G-League affiliate of his hometown Detroit Pistons, and slowly reached his stride on the court toward the end of last season.
