Evan Turner is one of the most overrated human beings of all time.
But he totally made that one shot in college remember?
In a RIVALRY game no less, in the POSTSEASON no less. I mean, sure MICH/OSU means shit outside of a football stadium and that
was just a conference quarterfinal and they
did lose in the Sweet Sixteen to 6th seeded Tennessee whose best player was a sophomore Scotty Hopson, but...that shot still went in ya know?
I thought they had added some decent enough pieces this offseason to stay at the top, especially with the Heat deconstructing.
You've heard this a million times, but the sheer mediocrity of the East means they can't do any worse than a 5 seed w/o George. Indiana
is a relatively well put together team w/ proven management chops and a general idea of direction and identity, that is so much more than the rest of their conference can say it isn't even funny. I still see them in that 2-5 range with Washington/Chicago/either Brooklyn or Miami, all of the aforementioned have a chance of getting to the ECF imo.

That 2010 Tennessee team had two transfers from Arizona following Olson-leave-of-abscence-gate. Bruce Pearl, ever the opportunist...
