  • Showed initial quickness and good flexibility to dip and bend. Turner has active hands and suddenness to his movements, demonstrating the ability to counter inside.
  • Shows the closing burst and footwork to work well in tight areas.
  • Good all-around athlete with very good short-area quickness and fluidity. Very good playing strength and has worked hard in the weight room, adding bulk and filling out his frame.
