Evan Turner

The next Brandon Roy?

A 6-7 wing with point guard skills, Evan Turner projects as an NBA threat similar to Portland's Brandon Roy or even -- dare we suggest -- Miami's Dwyane Wade. Turner has the ability to get to the rim or pull up for a mid-range jumper, skills that will serve him well at the next level. His long-range shooting could -- and probably will -- improve.

Turner was honored as the top player in college hoops this season, winning both the Wooden Award and AP Player of the Year honors.
