Greatest new nickname ever: Evan 'top 25 in statistics' Turner


Perhaps the best postgame quote from the Celtics' uninspiring yet meaningful 96-92 win in New York last night came from Brad Stevens' son, who apparently had a nice chat with Evan Turner:


Who knows what kind of crazy advanced numbers Stevens' kid has been perusing, but after a very brief bit of research I've come up with the following:

- Turner ranks just outside the NBA's top 25 in turnovers per game
- He is, however, tied for fifth in the league in triple-doubles this season (with 2)

That is a statistic, and Turner is decidedly in the top 25.
