Portis: I appreciate Turner s leadership. He has a strong desire to win and I m glad he is on our team.

In the NBA preseason, the Bucks defeated the Pistons 117-111. After the game, Portis was interviewed.

Talking about Turner, Portis said: "I admire his leadership very much. He will take the initiative to communicate with his teammates and keep everyone focused. He will be an important support for our team and I am very happy to play with him. But it still feels a little weird now, just a little bit, but his desire to win is so obvious. You can clearly feel that he just wants to win. I am very glad that he is on our side now."

In this campaign, Turner scored 4 points and 1 block.
