Sixers' Turner struggling, on the block

12:33 PM ET 02.10 | With the recent addition of Nick Young to the Sixers' starting lineup due to the season-ending injury to Jason Richardson, Evan Turner has been forced to make some adjustments. So far, Turner has struggled making those adjustments, averaging 5.5 points and shooting just 25 percent from the field over the last four games. The No.2 pick in the 2010 draft put forth arguably his worst performance of the year in the Sixers' game on Friday, scoring just two points on 1-of-10 shooting in an ugly loss to the Pacers. Turner has not been too concerned with his poor play, but coach Doug Collins thinks the youngster sometimes gets too hard on himself. "Evan's just got to play; he's got to play," Collins said. "Evan gets too hard on himself. He's got to understand that there is not a perfect game, no perfect player." With Turner reportedly being put on the trading block, it will be interesting to see if he can remain his focus and turn things around.

I can see him ending up in BOS or MEM
