Feel bad for whoever Is standing in his way. A healthy Lamonte is unguardable.

Lamonte Turner says he's 'finally healthy' after two years

I'm glad he's healthy now too...

But let's pump the breaks on the unguardable talk...

I mean he was pretty good when he was fully healthy. We really only got 1 and a half years oh him healthy.

Sooo, does he get his 6th year of eligibility?

 

[orangemadam]

Probably couldn't break into next season lineup.

Agree. He was at his best penetrating making plays around the rim scoring and assisting. He was a good defender despite his lack of size. He also hit a few really big shots for us...

With that said, he never was really able to be a good scorer off the dribble bc of his low release on his shot. He definitely wasn't nearly as good as Bone, but I really liked when Barnes played them together in the 18-19 season.

LT played injured in the 18/19 season - not really fair to judge him on that. Prior season he was the SEC 6th man of the year

Imo his passing game took leaps last year. I expect him to have a solid year starting at pg with his shoulder healthy.

Don't break your brakes with all that pumping.

I think he can carve out a similar role to Fred VanVleet if he can stay healthy. Dude was the best perimeter on ball defender in the SEC last year, imo.

For what team?

Lol I forgot he wasnt eligible next year :/

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Good for him. Shoulder problems are a beast, and I don't think he is out of the woods yet.

I'm a big LT fan. He's got the clutch gene, he's a fantastic on ball defender, at his best he's a great shooter and ball handler, and he took a big step forward as a passer last year. I really hope for the best for him. I think he can make it in the NBA, just has to find the right fit as an UDFA.

I love Lamonte Turner, but I don't think he'll ever be on an NBA roster. The ceiling for him is overseas or G league IMO. @johnfnkelly, Vanvleet is an excellent comparison to how it could be possible for him to create a niche....Itd be a huge uphill battle though, Vanvleet is really really good.
