Though Evan Turner would likely have been drafted in the top half of the first round 2009, he chose to return to Ohio State for his junior season. He did not disappoint early, tallying two triple-doubles in November. Unfortunately, his excellent start was marred by a back injury in December. Expected to miss two months, Turner was able to return after three weeks. Fortunately, Turner picked up where he left off, finishing the season with an impressive line: 19.5 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 5.8 assists. Clearly, the decision to return has paid off for Turner, who has garnered national player of the year recognition and solidified himself alongside
John Wall as the best in this class.
