Sixers select Turner
The Philadelphia 76ers selected Ohio State guard Evan Turner with the No. 2 pick in the NBA Draft.
It was unknown what the 76ers would do with his pick, and speculation raged on for several weeks.
Some felt the Sixers were determined to trade out of the spot while others saw Derrick Favors as the obvious choice.
In the end, new head coach Doug Collins was scared off by Favors’ poor workouts and took the more sure thing.
Turner might not have the high ceiling of other draft prospects, but he is the most polished player coming out of college.
