Justin Turner is listed at 6’4″ and 205 pounds giving him good size to play shooting guard for a major conference team. He will likely be looking for a starting role that can help elevate his prospects for a professional career. The pitch to him will need to involve a real opportunity to shine as a player and as a leader. Turner’s upside is clear to see for a team that needs a starting scorer and a veteran leader.
There are several transfers that will be highly sought after. Justin Turner may be the most highly sought after player with one year of eligibility left. The team that does land him will be happy to land his talent for one year.
