First, sorry about the lack of slick formatting.

And I know Turner didn't break out until he was a sophomore, but I wanted to keep this as apples-to-apples as possible. And age-context needs to be considered, anyway.

I'm annoyed

that this damn song is now stuck in my head.

But I appreciate these stats. Turner really looks bad in terms of Assists vs. TO. Ouch.

Of course, the others on this list we’re point guards and he was not (as a freshman). Am I correct?
