Currently holding over 15 Division One offers as of now, Warren De La Salle 6’7″ wing A.J. Turner has established himself as one the most coveted prospects in the State of Michigan. A.J.’s combination of size and length makes him a matchup nightmare on both sides of the court. “Versatility is the best part of my game,” said Turner, “The fact that I can play three positions something that comes in handy.” With the rise of tall big men that can run the point like Kevin Durant in the NBA, and Otto Porter at Georgetown, A.J. looks to be right at home with similar skilled athletes. Turner is a quality jump shooter with a fluid high arching release that has good rotation on the ball. A.J. with his height to look over the defenders when passing, always seems to find the open man in the right spot to score the ball. Was also the jump ball man for De La Salle this year even though he was a guard.
With no set decision time for Turner to decide on a school, this will be a quite interesting summer for Turner. His AAU team Dorians pride is one of the best in Michigan. The team almost every weekend travels outside of the state to attend some of the nation’s elite tournaments. But that is not to say that A.J. will pick just any major program that comes to offer. Turner is looking for a school that “develops players, fits my style of play, one that I can go to and play right away, and of course I would like to play in the NCAA Tournament wherever I go.
The one player that A.J. reminds me of is a Michael Carter-Williams, both are long lanky combo guards that can score and defend the ball. When asked about the comparison, A.J. did acknowledge that there are some similarities, “We both are very tall and are able to play the point guard position,” and “we both make great decisions with the ball.” A.J. will look to improve upon “being able to defend all positions” this summer, to go along with at times this season being reluctant to score the ball. He is a great player that needs to score the ball. Whether it is with the jump shot or getting to the lane, coaches want a kid they can put the ball in the hands of and let them go to work. But the main thing is that he is a team player that wants to get everybody on the court and lead them to a victory.
