Arizona suspends freshman G Turner

[IE]

Josiah Turner, who has started 16 of the last 17 games for Arizona, has been suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules.

Wildcats head coach Sean Miller made the announcement Wednesday, one day before the team is scheduled to play in the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 Tournament.

"I am disappointed in Josiah for his actions. Unfortunately this suspension comes at a time of great excitement and opportunity for our team. However, the standards of our program will not be compromised under any circumstances," Miller said. "Hopefully, Josiah will learn a valuable lesson from this experience."

Turner has averaged 6.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 29 games this season for Arizona, which is the fourth seed in the conference tourney after going 21-10 in the regular season and 12-6 in Pac-12 play.

fyi

arizona is now 6 deep.....as in....1 guy off the bench (and that guy is semi-injured and missed 2-3 weeks until hte last game)

two 7 footers who are stiffs that are next in the "rotation" but have played about a combined 5 mins the last month or so (they would match up okay vs wear sisters and fat ass smith, but get killed vs wash frontline)


turner is exihibit a as to why aau and hs recruiting rankings are worthless.....guy was supposed to be 1 and done nba ready point guard.....he looks like a head case with no shot, horrible handle, questionable defense and decision making and a bad attitude; good luck in europe next year.
