St. Joseph's Turner keeps coming up big



January 8, 2007
BY MARK POTASH Staff Reporter

St. Joseph star Evan Turner's senior season turned around before it even started -- in July, when his national ranking dropped from 23rd in May to 70th in September after some lackluster performances at summer events.
''I didn't have that good of a July, and people got down on me,'' said the 6-6 Turner, who committed to Ohio State in June. ''It was mental. I wasn't paying attention too much. I wasn't playing hard. I was just having fun.

Grant has been my favorite player sense after his rookie year and yes, everytime I hear about one of his games, or hear someone describe his game I think Grant Hill. Smooth, smart and a team player. Just hope he isn't as haunted with injuries.

BY MICHAEL O'BRIEN Staff Reporter
When the stands fill up and the bright lights switch on, Simeon's Derrick Rose almost always rises to the occasion.

Saturday against St. Joseph in the City/Suburban Showdown at Northwestern's Welsh-Ryan Arena, Rose has another opportunity to sparkle in the spotlight. After nearly three years of waiting for the matchup to materialize, Rose and Simeon finally will play against the Chargers and their highly regarded duo of Evan Turner and Demetri McCamey.

SIMEON 74, ST. JOSEPH 66

February 18, 2007
BY MICHAEL O'BRIEN Staff Reporter

Just before the second half of the Simeon-St. Joseph game began Saturday at Northwestern's Welsh-Ryan Arena, St. Joseph forward Evan Turner turned around and told the media sitting courtside exactly what he thought of Simeon guard Derrick Rose's ability.

It wasn't complimentary.
Rose is considered the best player in the state and one of the top five in the country. Turner is ranked second in the state but doesn't have the national reputation Rose enjoys.
Turner followed up his words with an impressive second-half performance, but it wasn't enough as the top-rated Wolverines beat the Chargers 74-66 in front of 7,689.

''I was better than [Rose],'' Turner said. ''With me guarding him, he didn't do much. He knows that, and I know that.''
Turner scored 29 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. During one stretch of the second half, he scored 20 consecutive points for the Chargers.
But Rose was dominant throughout the game. He nailed four three-pointers in the first quarter, helping Simeon take a 16-4 lead. Rose finished with 29 points, seven assists and four steals. ''We both know who is better,'' Rose said. ''He's just doing this to get a little bit of publicity. We'll see who does more on the next level.''
