('The Kid' Evan Turner)(Working post/list of interesting & important pre & early season games- International post after this)
Who says Fall belongs to the gridiron? Hardcore hoops heads can currently watch the 2010 FIBA World Championships which leads right into preseason professional basketball around the world. September & October will have several interesting story lines involving Buckeye ball players.
The eyes of the Scarlett & Gray nation will be watching as #2nd overall Draft Pick Evan Turner enters the bright lights of the National Basketball Association as a Philadelphia 76er. While Evan holds it down in the East, two former Buckeyes Daequan Cook & Byron Mullens will be looking to make some pre-season noise on one of the West's rising teams, the Oklahoma City Thunder. The return of Greg Oden is of course prevalent in our thoughts as well as how Mike Conley Jr. & Memphis will start out of the gates (future playoff team?)
-Preseason-
The Villain of October - Ohio State sensation Evan Turner and the Philadelphia 76ers will play seven preseason games from October 6 to October 20. The Eastern Conference exclusive stretch includes home & aways with Boston & New Jersey along with a road game up north vs Toronto & his first return to the OH in Cincinnati vs the Cavaliers. (three back to backs)
-Video- (Turner on team chemistry & pricing his rookie card)
More Spicy Pre-Season Games - Last Pre-season Kosta Koufos was able to play in England & Spain with the Utah Jazz as part of the NBA Europe Live Tour. It looks like the Canton big man will be on another pre-season European trip as his new squad Minnesota is slated to play in London & Paris (10/4 & 10/6). Back home in the states, Mike Conley Jr. & the Memphis Grizzlies will host Spanish Euroleague club Caja Laboral on October 14. That same day will have another Euroleague/NBA clash when Russian power CSKA Moscow plays Daequan Cook, Byron Mullens, & the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Cook might have a chance to get at his old team on October 8 in Kansas City when the Thunder take on the new look Miami Heat. The Clippers & Trailblazers play their opening pre-season game on October 5 which creates the possible scenario of two former #1 overall picks on the court if Greg Oden & Blake Griffin get the clearances to play.

Early Regular Season (just going up to early Nov.)
Welcome to the Show - It is your first NBA Game..and who is your opponent?..Yep..Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh & The Miami Heat aka the new Evil Empire. This unbelievable opener will take place at home in Philly on October 27.
Turner will meet up with #1 overall pick John Wall in D.C on November 2nd. And as if his opening rookie schedule did not have enough unique games, Turner will also play his first NBA game in New York City's Madison Square Garden vs the Knicks on November 7. - (Sixers Schedule)
Conley & The Griz, a franchise that wants to get off to a good start has an interesting first five games which includes a home opener vs Atlanta & two road games at the Mavericks & Lakers. The Trailblazers have some big games out of the gate as well with meetings vs Phoenix (opener 10/26), Chicago, OKC (11/7) & the Lakers on November 7.
