Trail Blazers' Evan Turner: Comes off bench Monday

Turner will come off the bench for Monday's preseason game against the Jazz.

Analysis:

Turner is battling Maurice Harkless for the starting small forward role, and while it would be easy to designate Harkless the early favorite after seeing Monday's lineup, it's a little premature to read too much into things. The performance of both players during training camp will ultimately dictate who receives the starting nod on opening nod.
