Countdown to training camp: Evan Turner remains a low-risk moderate reward option

Evan Turner goes into this year on a cheap contract, and after a year of showcasing his talents, but how many minutes are there for him on a packed roster?

In the summer of 2014, the Boston Celtics signed Ohio State product Evan Turner to a 2-year deal, worth less than $7 million. The moved was perceived to be a low-risk, medium-reward proposition, and has paid off thus far.

Last year, Turner started 57 games for the Celtics, playing over 27 minutes per contest. That is the second-highest minutes average on the team, behind only Avery Bradley.
