Turner urged to play on the block for Texas
Texas coach Rick Barnes says freshman Myles Turner should be on the block more, noting he could be a dominant 12-foot-and-in presence. Turner averages 11.8 points and 6.8 rebounds while shooting 83.3 percent from the line, but in a 75-62 loss to Kansas he took no free throws. Alexander, Turner’s former rival, recalls Turner’s versatile scoring and length. Holmes laments UT’s size not being fully leveraged.
