The Portland Trail Blazers need Evan Turner to play better

Evan Turner has struggled to score for the Portland Trail Blazers this season, particularly in the last two games.

Turner, a former No. 2 overall pick by the 76ers, was one of the main reasons the Celtics made the playoffs in 2015-16. The Trail Blazers signed him to a four-year, $70 million deal because of his overall versatility and ability to play different positions and contribute off the bench, but his performance in the last two games has been poor.

The Trail Blazers relied too much on Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum in those contests.
