Former 76ers GM Tony DiLeo reportedly "wanted to keep" Evan Turner, who is under contract next season and has an $8.7 million team option for 2014-15.
New GM Sam Hinkie is thought to revere advanced statistical measures, however, which are none too kind to Turner (including a paltry .035 'win shares per 48 minutes' this season). Turner clashed with coach Doug Collins, so Collins' departure could be good for the former No 2. overall pick, but don't be surprised to hear Turner's name in trade rumors in the coming months.

Evan Turner - G/F - 76ers

Evan Turner admitted to clashing with former head coach Doug Collins.

Collins and Turner never seemed to get on the same page during their tenure together. Turner "often looked to" assistant Michael Curry to "smooth the waters" between Collins and himself. A new coach might be able to unlock some of Turner's potential, but next season is shaping up as a make-or-break year for the former No. 2 overall pick.

Evan Turner - G/F - 76ers

Evan Turner believes he'll be back with the Sixers next season and says he's "just tapping the surface" of his ability.

Turner ended his third NBA season with an extremely inconsistent month of April, failing to shoot over 38 percent in six of the nine games. He was the No. 2 overall pick in 2010, so no one is doubting the talent, but he's been completely unable to put it together since joining the NBA. Turner is not worth drafting in most fantasy formats next year and it wouldn't be surprising if he's either replaced or traded in the offseason.

Evan Turner - G/F - 76ers

Evan Turner missed all 11 shots and didn't score vs. Washington on Friday, adding four boards, seven assists, one steal and one block.

After it looked like he was coming around earlier this month, he's been dreadful on offense in his last three games, failing to shoot over 33 percent in any of those contests. Turner won't be worth drafting next season and the Sixers should probably swallow their pride and draft a wing to supplant him.

Evan Turner - G/F - 76ers

Evan Turner played through his ankle injury on Tuesday and hit 3-of-10 shots and a 3-pointer for 11 points, three boards and five assists in 28 minutes.

He suffered the injury on Saturday but played through it, so it looks like he's good to go going forward.

Evan Turner - G/F - 76ers

Evan Turner twisted his left ankle during Saturday's game, but he was able to return and finish with 14 points, five boards, five assists and one turnover.

He didn't have any 3s, steals or blocks, but he knocked down 6-of-10 field goals and owners have to be pleased that he avoided any serious injury. He's been inconsistent all year, but with mid-round value in the past month he's worth starting in average fantasy leagues. We'll put him on the injury list as a precaution in case his ankle worsens overnight.
Apr 6 - 10:25 PM
Evan Turner - G/F - 76ers

Evan Turner scored 24 points on 9-of-15 shooting (including three treys) with 11 rebounds and two assists in Friday's win over the Hawks.

Turner has picked it up a bit recently and is a hot and cold player, but owners should look at his entire body of work when making their assessments. Spencer Hawes added 19 points and 12 rebounds in the win.

Evan Turner - G/F - 76ers

Evan Turner played well in Friday's win against Cleveland, scoring 23 points with 13 boards, four assists and two 3-pointers on 9-of-17 shooting in 38 minutes.

He's shooting 38 percent from the field since February 1, but he's shot over 50 percent in each of his last two games. Before you think about picking him back up, the Cavs allow the highest field goal percentage in the NBA. Turner still belongs on the wire in most standard leagues.
Mar 30 - 12:34 AM
Evan Turner - G/F - 76ers

Doug Collins said that Evan Turner is "struggling right now."

Turner has scored a grand total of 13 points over his last two games on 5-of-12 shooting and hasn't eclipsed 20 points since March 2. He's scored just 39 points over the last five games, and Collins is hopeful Turner can get back on track. If you have a better option in the form of a hot pickup available on your waiver wire, we wouldn't blame you for cutting bait.

Evan Turner - G/F - 76ers

Evan Turner continued his struggles on Monday with six points, six boards, one steal and one 3-pointer in 31 minutes.

He's been terrible for a while now and his 46 percent shooting from back in November seems like a distant memory. Turner is shooting 40 percent from the field in March and isn't really doing anything noteworthy, so we have no qualms about cutting him in standard leagues -- especially with all the injuries out there and numerous pickups available.
Mar 25 - 11:42 PM
Evan Turner - G/F - 76ers

Evan Turner missed two costly free throws with 6.8 second left in Thursday's loss to the Nuggets, finishing with 12 points, four boards and two steals in 31 minutes.

It was really just bad luck and both misses rattled around the rim. Turner has been terrible for a long time and is shooting just 39 percent from the field since the All-Star break. He's not really doing much to negate the poor shooting, so he's a borderline player to own in standard leagues.
Mar 21 - 11:55 PM
Evan Turner - G/F - 76ers

Evan Turner's struggles continued on Monday against the Blazers, as he hit just 1-of-8 shots for two points with three rebounds, four assists and no steals or blocks in 25 minutes.

Turner needs to clean up the peripherals before anybody should be talking about a breakout season in the future. He has some low-end fantasy value and will probably get back on track, so owners should simply bench him for now.
Mar 18 - 10:05 PM
Evan Turner - G/F - 76ers

Evan Turner's struggles continued on Monday, shooting 6-of-18 from the field for 16 points with seven boards, four assists and one 3-pointer in 39 minutes.

He's been terrible in his previous five games and shot a horrific 29.8 percent from the field at an 11.4 shots-per-game clip. Turner isn't doing anything to be worth starting in some formats and owners in 10-team leagues can probably do better.
Mar 11 - 10:10 PM
Evan Turner - G/F - 76ers

Evan Turner scored six points in 28 minutes vs. the Magic, hitting 2-of-5 field goals including two 3-pointers.

Turner is now averaging 6.0 points in the past three games and he's in the midst of an awful shooting slump, tanking his value to the 15th-round in the past two weeks. He's made more than half of his shots in exactly one game since February 1st, so we're not expecting any offensive miracles in the coming weeks.
Mar 10 - 9:20 PM
Evan Turner - G/F - 76ers

Evan Turner had two points on 1-of-7 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Hawks.

We know that Turner's horrific jumper is going to catch up with him every so often. On Wednesday, he let it affect the rest of his game as he showed frustration and came down with just three rebounds, four assists and no steals or blocks. Although Turner is a major liability for the Sixers in real life, fantasy owners shouldn't jump ship. Over his previous 10 games, the former No. 2 overall pick was averaging 15.7 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists.
