More on Turner.
"Turner’s running has been a cause for concern for draft evaluators, leaving many wondering if it will cause long-term effects on his knees.
“His awkward running style, might not change anytime soon, though,” Draft Express notes in their breakdown of Turner. “[He] noticeably lumbers getting up and down the floor, and only made five field goals (out of 13 attempts) all season in transition situations, according to Synergy Sports Technology.”
Given the concerns of his running style, Turner and his team of advisors (his agent Andy Miller, his father, and his trainer Ken Roberson) opted to stay ahead of the issue and go through extensive tests and evaluations at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. The idea behind the tests was to show that Turner is 100 percent healthy and just needs to work on mechanics to improve his running and lateral quickness.
The results showed exactly that. The 27-page report revealed that Turner is fine, but suffers from weakness in his left and right gluteus medius muscles, which are located inside the hip and help control balance. Fortunately for Turner, this issue can be corrected with various exercises and workouts. The findings of this report were sent to all 30 teams in the NBA, including those workouts that can be done to correct the problem."
