Turner can't shoot, create, rebound or defend very well. Plus he needs the ball in his hands. Aminu can at least rebound and defend at acceptable levels. Neither guy is the answer, but Turner is living off college hype.
The numbers just don't bear that out. Turner rebounds just as well as Aminu. He shoots better and is a good passer for his position. In the right system, he can be a really solid player. Aminu is just an undersized PF. I actually think he can be a good contributor, but he isn't a fit with Davis..

Comparing him to aminu is saying/proving nothing. Neither player should even be considered.

If by just as well you mean 25% worse.
Per 36 and TRB% career numbers
Aminu 8.5 13.9%
Turner 6.5 10.2%

He shoots better
If by better you mean worse
Career FG%
Aminu 44.2%
Turner 42.7%
Now Turner does shoot outside of 3 feet better than Aminu, but neither is good enough to be considered a good shooter outside of finishing at the rim, which both do at 60% or better.

So you have a wing who's 2 biggest skills are finishing at the rim and passing. Like I said, with Tyreke on the roster there isn't really room for Turner unless he comes really cheap.

Aminu is a much better rounder
9.0 rebounds per 36 last 3 years
Turner: 6.5 rebounds per 36

Not by much

3.0 assists is pretty mediocre for a guy that was supposed to be a Triple Double threat.

My turn to ask, you trolling? I have no idea what numbers you're looking at (for rebounds especially), but I suspect you're just looking at per game. That is incredibly flawed.
Here's a good place to start for better stats
