Scouting Journals for George Turkson

George Turkson is a lengthy athlete with a lot of explosive pop. He is a natural defender with instincts both at the rim and in the passing lanes. He is a sneaky weak-side shot-blocker and understands angles and rotations on that end. Offensively, he is most comfortable in the mid-range and playing from the mid-and high-post areas. He has a smooth catch and shoot jumper from 18-feet. Turkson will need to continue developing the ball skills and extending the range on his jumper, but there is something about his workmanlike demeanor and current production that you trust.
