The article contains some things we have discussed along with some others. There were some things I agree with and some that I don't but overall it was good read. Especially since it's an outsiders view and in the slow off season.

Not bad, but he's dead wrong on defense being a major liability of Turner's game.

He suggested et play pf. He's only 67 and 220. Not happening

For real. And said McCollum was a pretty good defender. He seems to have those two mixed up in that regard.

Could've left this whole paragraph out:

"I personally really like the lineup of Lillard/CJ/Crabbe/Turner/Leonard. That lineup would hemorrhage points, with McCollum and Crabbe being the only plus defenders in the lineup (and neither of them are big pluses). Meyers Leonard can’t defend, well anything really, and Turner is stuck trying to guard 4s. There are certainly some teams that this lineup can’t be used against, but there are some that this group could possibly not get totally shredded on defense. And this lineup would massacre almost any defense it encounters, with Turner essentially playing center on offense with tons of shooting. It would be an absolute nightmare. But once again, a defense would be a huge worry, and possibly a big enough problem to kill that lineup."
