After two years of moving over to point guard to back up Jordan Bone when he went to the bench, this was the year for combo guard Lamonte Turner to really break out for Tennessee basketball. He needs to spend more time running things early while five-star freshman Josiah-Jordan James develops. However, he did not have a good first test.
In the Vols’ 78-63 opening win against the UNC Asheville Bulldogs, Turner led the team in scoring. But concerns about what he would do at times last year when moving over to the point resurfaced in a bad way.
