Evan Marcel Turner (born October 27, 1988) is an American professional basketball player who currently plays for the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Turner was drafted 2nd overall by the 76ers in the 2010 NBA draft. Turner plays the point guard, shooting guard and small forward positions. Turner was a first-team 2010 NCAA Men's Basketball All-American and the 2010 National Player of the Year. Turner was also a two-time Big Ten Conference scoring champion and the 2010 Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year. He was twice the only player named as a unanimous first-team selection by both the coaches and the media to the All-Big Ten team (2008–09, 2009–10). By finishing first in scoring and second in both rebounds and assists in the conference in the 2009–10 season, he was the first men's basketball player to finish in the top two in each of these categories and in fact, the first to finish in the top five in each category in the same season.
Turner attended St. Joseph High School in Westchester.[1][2] By his senior season, he was one of the top high school basketball players at his position in the nation.[3][4][5] As a true freshman, he helped lead the Buckeyes to the 2008 National Invitation Tournament championship. The following year, he was the Big Ten Conference scoring champion for the 2008–09 season and was a first-team 2009 All-Big Ten selection.[6][7] That season, he was also an honorable mention All-American and was selected as a member of the 2009 All-Big Ten Conference Tournament team,[8] and he became one of five Big Ten players to have been among the top ten in the conference in average points, rebounds, and assists in the same season.
He was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers with the second overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft.[9] He is the conference record-holder for most career Conference Player of the Week awards and despite missing over a month of his junior season for the 2009–10 Ohio State Buckeyes men's basketball team he also set the single-season record for Player of the Week awards. As a pro, he has participated in the Rising Stars Challenge and helped the 76ers reach the NBA playoffs in his first two NBA seasons.
Youth
Turner was born weighing 10 pounds (4.5 kg). Within his first year, he endured chicken pox, pneumonia, asthma, and measles. The 1989 Chicago measles epidemic caused Turner to desperately need emergency room services. He encountered severe breathing problems that required the removal of his adenoids and tonsils. At the age of 3, he was hit by a car, resulting in a concussion and stitches. Oversized baby teeth and an overbite caused a speech impediment that necessitated speech therapy.[10]
High school career
Before high school, Turner and fellow NBA player Iman Shumpert were teammates on the 8th grade basketball team at Gwendolyn Brooks Middle School in Oak Park, IL.[11] Turner was a star on the 2002–03 Brooks's 8th grade boys basketball team that finished the 2002–03 season with a record of 23–2.[12] He played in the Summer 2004 AAU Boys 15-under Basketball National Championship Tournament for the Illinois Knights.[13] As a high school sophomore, he helped lead St. Joseph to a run in the Illinois AA Boys High School basketball tournament,[14] which helped him get the attention of NCAA Division I basketball coaches.[1] At St. Joseph's, which had once produced Isiah Thomas,[1] he was part of a Chicago area sophomore class that was considered to be the best in the history of the state of Illinois. It included Derrick Rose, and his St. Joseph's teammate Demetri McCamey,[1] who overshadowed him as the second best Chicago area prospect in the class behind Rose.[15][16] The class of 2007 was compared to the Chicago area class of 1979 that included Thomas, Terry Cummings, and Darrell Walker as well as the class of 1998 that included Quentin Richardson, Corey Maggette, Frank Williams, Bobby Simmons, Michael Wright.[1]
Turner started getting major Division I offers early in his junior year,[17] and he and McCamey attended 2005 Midnight Madness with the Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball team.[18] At the beginning of his junior season, Chicago Tribune named him to its annual top Chicago metropolitan area basketball players list,[19] and it ranked St. Josephs number three in the area.[20] The team went to the state sectional final before its season ended with a 75–72 sectional final loss to Proviso East High School.[21] After his junior season, he was considered one of the top 25 prospects in the country in his class according to one scout,[22] and he was given special mention by the Chicago Tribune and honorable mention by the Associated Press for all-state honors.[23] During the summer of 2006, he committed to Ohio State, which is located in Columbus, Ohio.[24] Turner's decision was influenced by his relationship with his father, James Turner, who lived in Columbus, Ohio and whom Turner had visited every summer since he was ten years old.[25]
During his senior season, his team was listed second to Rose's Simeon Career Academy in the preseason Tribune Chicago area high school basketball team rankings.[26] That season, he and Rose were both named to the first-team Associated Press 2006–07 Class AA all-state team, a day before Rose's Simeon eliminated Turner's St. Joseph in the Illinois Class AA supersectional.[27][28] Turner and McCamey finished third and sixth to Rose in the Illinois Mr. Basketball voting,[2] and the Chicago Tribune chose both of them as first team All-state selections along with Rose.[29] Turner was ranked as the #7, #13 and #16 small forward in the nation as a high school senior by ESPN, rivals.com, and scout.com respectively.[3][4][5] He received scholarship offers from five Big Ten Conference basketball programs, as well as Wake Forest, DePaul and Notre Dame.[5]

Philadelphia 76ers (2010–present)

He was selected with the 2nd overall pick by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2010 NBA Draft,[100] and signed a 3-year deal worth an estimated $12 million.[101]
On October 27, 2010, in his debut on the Philadelphia 76ers (also his 22nd birthday), Turner recorded 16 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists, coming off the bench for 30 minutes to lead the team in scoring in a 97–87 loss to the Miami Heat.[102] On November 7, 2010, Turner got his first NBA start and ended the game with a double-double, recording 14 points and 10 rebounds to go with his 3 assists, in a 106–96 win over the New York Knicks in place of the injured Andre Iguodala.[103] On December 29, 2010, Turner scored a career-high 23 points in a 123–110 win against the Phoenix Suns, going 9–12 from the field and a perfect 4–4 from the free throw line.[104] He ended the season with fourteen starts and two double-doubles.[105][106] The team had gone 27-55 the previous season, but were able to improve to 41-41 in Turner's first season. They reached the 2011 NBA Playoffs as the seventh seed, and were matched up against the new-look Miami Heat led by Lebron James and Dwyane Wade. Turner was praised for his aggressiveness in the series, handling Wade on the defensive side, and scoring 17 points and six rebounds on 50% shooting in the Sixers win in Game 4. He also hit the final two free three throws in that game that would be the final points of the 86-82 win.[107] That would be Philadelphia's only win of the series however, as they fell to the eventual Eastern Conference Champions Miami in five games.
On February 8, 2012, Turner was selected to play in the 2012 Rising Stars competition.[108] During the game, he unveiled a new model of Li Ning shoes.[109] On March 7, 2012, in only his second start of the season, Turner recorded a career-high, 26 points, against the Boston Celtics.[110] On March 9 and March 11 against the Utah Jazz and the New York Knicks, he posted back-to-back double doubles in his third and fourth consecutive start.[111][112] He again scored 26 points on April 3 against the Miami Heat.[113] On April 25, he recorded another double-double while setting a career-high with 29 points and adding 13 rebounds.[114] Over the course of the season, he made twenty starts and recorded five double-doubles.[115][116] He posted his first postseason double double on May 12 against the Boston Celtics in the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals of the 2012 NBA Playoffs, with 16 points and 10 rebounds.[117] He repeated the feat on May 21 in game five of the series, recording 10 rebounds and 11 points.[118] He started 12 of Philadelphia's 13 playoff games, but the team was eliminated in the second round of the playoffs.[116]
Turner started all 82 games during the 2012–13 NBA season and tallied 14 double-doubles,[119] while averaging a career high 13.3 points 6.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists.[120] On December 7, he posted a 26-point, 10-rebound double-double against the Boston Celtics and made the game-winning shot in overtime with 3.9 seconds remaining.[121] On March 1, he fell one assist short of a triple-double with 22 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists against the Golden State Warriors.[122]
The 76ers did not sign Turner to an extension prior to the October 31, 2013, deadline, meaning that the 76ers have the right to make him a restricted free agent by the end of the season. As a restricted free agent the team would have the option to match any contract that Turner signs.[123] In order to make him a restricted free agent, the 76ers need to make him a qualifying offer of approximately $8.7 million by June 30, 2014.[124] On November 9, Turner established a new career high with 31 points, including the game-tying basket with 8.7 seconds remaining in the first overtime against the Cleveland Cavaliers.[125][126] Turner hit the game-winning buzzer beater on December 20 against the Brooklyn Nets.[127][128] Turner sat out on December 28 due to knee soreness,[129] but he returned to the lineup the following night against the Los Angeles Lakers with 22 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.[130] On January 22, 2014 Turner recorded a new career high in points with 34 in a 110 to 106 win over the New York Knicks, he also recorded 11 rebounds in the game.[131] Turner hit the game-winning buzzer beater on January 29 against the Boston Celtics.[132][133]
