76ers' Turner wins his debut vs. Nets' Favors

ORLANDO, Fla. - The No. 2 and No. 3 overall picks in this year's NBA draft showed off their potential Monday night.

In the most decorated matchup of young hopefuls at this week's NBA summer league in Orlando, Evan Turner had 12 points and eight rebounds to help the 76ers beat Derrick Favors and the New Jersey Nets, 84-74.

"I just wanted to get my rhythm back, my flow back, my timing back," said Turner, the No. 2 overall pick, who added four assists. "And not looking like I never played basketball before, like I did at the start."

Favors had eight points on 2-for-8 shooting for the Nets. He also had some above-the-rim rebounds - nine in all.

Their first outing was a sneak peak at the five-day, eight-team summer league that is being held at the Orlando Magic's practice facility. It is crammed daily with about 200 people - mostly players, coaches, general managers and media - but is not open to fans.

Turner, for his part, was cautious and careful with every step of his first game.

"I think they were a little nervous at first," new 76ers coach Doug Collins said of the two rookies. "And a little rusty. But they got much of that rust off their game, and I thought it turned out well for the first game."
