Again, this a check-up on rookies the Sixers realistically could have taken instead of Evan Turner, and a comparison to Turner using advanced statistics. We'll do this every 5 to 10 games. I also want to remind you this is a SMALL SAMPLE SIZE! Viewer discretion is advised.

Turner, Favors and Cousins all had significant drop-offs since our last update, while Wesley Johnson made positive strides. Through the first 10th of the season our guy Evan Turner has the lowest PER, TS%, and offensive rating. If it weren't his defense and defensive rebounding, he'd be significantly worse than his counterparts.
Two side notes on Turner
-
Although Turner ranks third in total rebounding percentage, trailing Favors by 6.3%, he ranks second in defensive rebounding (24.0) trailing Cousins (25.9) by only 1.9%.
- In games Andre Iguodala missed with injury Turner is averaging 14 points with a TS% of .520. In games Turner and Iguodala have both played in Turner is averaging 7 points with a TS% of .446.
My ranking as of 11/19/10:
- Derrick Favors
