I saw Turner at Kentucky & the Summer pro league and would not call him a
true point.  He has never been that impressive, that is why he went
undrafted. Kevin Ollie & former Laker Duane Cooper looked better at FILA.
Expect about as much out of Turner as we get out of McCarty, pretty much
nothing, I'd take Damon Jones or ollie over him,but then Pitino can't find a
lot of players who really want to play for him.

Did he really play better or was he the better of two evils.  Barros is a
good two guard trying to play the one.  However, I must admit he did a
good job.  Turner is a true point and you will see the difference when
you have a point guard that can take his man off the dribble or push the
ball down the court to create easy baskets.  The only time I saw that
last year, Antoine was running the break.  I really look forward to
seeing Turner  play.

What happen to Tim Young in the draft.  I wish we could have drafted  him
at at pick 55 and still ended up with Turner.
