Evan Turner‘s playmaking abilities for the Portland Trail Blazers are not in question, his assist percentage is the highest it’s been since he joined the team (22.5). His ability to score, though, has been less impressive.
His performance in Thursday’s 120-106 road win against the Phoenix Suns is the perfect example of what he does for the team. Turner had seven assists and four rebounds in 24 minutes, but he scored just two points on 1-for-4 shooting.
A former No. 2 overall pick by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2010 NBA Draft, Turner is in the third season of a four-year/$70 million deal with the Trail Blazers.
