Area CollegesOhio State’s 6’7 guard Evan Turner seems to be a lock to be a top three choice in this week’s NBA Draft. Turner was the recipient of the Dr. James Naismith College Player of the Year award for the 2009-10 season. The Chicago native joined Indiana’s Scott May (1976) and Calbert Cheaney (1993) and Purdue’s Glenn Robinson (1994) as just the fourth Big Ten player to receive this award.
The Villain, as he’s known, helped his Buckeye team to a 29-8 mark and a trip to the Regional Semifinal. He averaged 20.4 points, 9.2 boards, and 6.0 assists per contest in 2009-10. Former Buckeye First Round Draft Choices
