Celtics' Evan Turner will have suitors in free agency

Boston Celtics guard/forward Evan Turner will draw interest from several teams when he becomes a free agent this summer, according to league sources.

What It Means:

Turner has resurrected his career as the Celtics sixth man, and it hasn't gone unnoticed around the league. "He’s done everything they’ve asked him to do, and from what I hear, hasn’t grumbled a day about it," one rival executive said. "Every team needs a guy like that in their locker room." Turner looks to be in line for a raise this summer and could see a minor boost in fantasy value if he finds a job as a starter.

Turner averaged 10.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 81 regular season games this season. He's picked it up against the Atlanta Hawks in their first-round playoff matchup, averaging 14.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks through five games. Turner finished the regular season with a -1.2 nERD, which ranked 92nd.
