A lot of people don't remember it, but Magic Johnson averaged almost 3.9 TO/game during his career. His BEST year was 3.7. Dynamic playmakers tend to be more aggressive and opportunistic, but obviously, the positives can easily outweigh the negatives. Magic had a decent career for such a turnover machine. ;-)

Have to look at the assist to turnover ratio to determine if someone is turning it over too much. 2:1 ratio is pretty good for a PG. Luka had a ratio like that in Europe.
