The Misuse of A.J. Turner

It’s no secret that Chris Collins doesn’t have a true point guard.

Collins has designed an equal-opportunity offense predicated on off-ball cutting and screening in order to make up for this problem. However, someone still has to bring the ball up the floor to initiate the offense. So far this year, A.J. Turner has largely been filling that role. The problem is, he’s never done that before, and that’s not his game.

Collins used the word “committee” to describe how ball-handling duties would be distributed in the beginning of the season.
