Bucks General Manager: Turner is an excellent space-type big man and his ability to protect the basket is also top-notch

July 17th News Recently, Bucks general manager Jon Horst accepted an interview with The Athletic and talked about the team's new player Turner.

Horst said: "I like us very much about the operation we introduced Turner. Of course, I like more than one reason. One of them is that he undoubtedly brings us new possibilities in terms of playing style. But equally important is that he can also keep us stable in what we were originally good at."

"Currently, due to Antetokounmpo's playing style, Rivers' coaching style, and my own understanding of basketball, our team is centered on opening up space, transferring balls, and shooting a lot of three-pointers. The way of playing, and this is the system Antetokounmpo is best at. Turner is a very outstanding space-type big man. We have always wanted to have a tall, tough, and frame-protecting lineup. Turner is the top presence in the league in terms of frame-protecting. At the same time, I think we need to grow in outside speed and ability to handle pick-and-roll, which is an extremely important part of the NBA today. We need more players who can switch defenses on the court; we want to play faster in offense and defense conversions. Turner can bring these."
