Evan Turner – Indiana Pacers (SF)
Evan Turner spent his first three years in the league with the Philadelphia 76ers and continued that through 54 games this season. He was then traded to the Indiana Pacers for Danny Granger. His role in Indiana hasn’t been as big as the one he had in Philly and hasn’t performed nearly close as well as he did with the 76ers. Overall this season, he played in 81 games and averaged 30.3 minutes per game through those games. Offensively, he averaged 14.0 points per game, 5.0 rebounds per game and 3.2 assists per game. Defensively, he averaged just 0.1 blocks per game and 0.8 steals per game. He shot 43 percent from the floor, 32 percent from long-range and 81 percent from the free throw line.
Turner could be a valuable player for the Nuggets, as he would fit in nicely with the young group. He has a pretty good shot and is fairly well defensively.
