WOOHOO! GO LARRY!
LAKERS SIGN LARRY TURNER
August 22, 2007
EL SEGUNDO - The Los Angeles Lakers have signed free agent center Larry Turner, it was announced today. Per team policy, terms of the agreement were not released.
Turner, a 6-11 center from Tennessee State, averaged 5.8 points and 6.1 rebounds as a senior.
Turner played for the Lakers 2007 Summer-Pro League team, averaging 7.4 points and 5.2 rebounds in five games.
who is Larry Turner?
He played at Ou as a frosh under KS before tranferring.I'm glad for Larry to get a shot but it seems obvious from his stats that he is a project.You can teach a 6'11 guy to be a better player but you can't teach a 6'8 guy to be 6'11.Originally Posted by usmc-sooner

LT is an awesome kid. Great to hear for him and his family.
Wow. Never woulda guessed. I only remember a little of him. Was Taj and Bookout better than Larry?
Is this a trick question?
Was he the one that left because he was going to be a daddy?
Yeah he left to be near family(daughter,I think).Another obscure OU player Victor Avila who was a non-factor at OU signed a few years ago with the NBA.He spent his time in the Developmental League(he too was a 6'10-6'11 project.That is why I think L2 will at least get a tryout in the NBA.You are either 6'11 or you ain't.

Avila never became the Big 12 newcomer of the year or all Big 12 like some predicted, but was a factor, especially against Chris Mihm who he pwned in Norman.
taj and bookout were much better, LT got more playing time when bookout hurt his shoulder but transferred the year Taj came. i remember he couldnt make a free throw to save his life

Nice to see a former Sooner get picked up by the NBA.Too bad it had to be the Lakers, though.
