Evan Turner
The Sporting News has picked Ohio State’s Evan Turner for Player of the Year honors.
Earlier this week, the magazine picked John Wall as college basketball’s Freshman of the Year.
Excerpt from the Turner story:
During a record-setting junior season, “Evan Almighty” piled up a record seven Big Ten player of the week awards despite missing more than four weeks with a fracture in his lower back.
He joined Jim Jackson as the only Buckeyes with 1,000 career points, 500 rebounds and 300 assists.
He leads the league in scoring and rebounding-as a point guard.
For all of that, Turner joins Lucas, the 1961 and ’62 winner, as the only Buckeyes to be named Sporting News’ national Player of the Year.
