Jamal Turner begins his first season as a member of the Fairfield University basketball program, and looks to break into the lineup as a play maker. While he has the ability to score points, the Massachusetts native is more effective getting the ball into the right player's hands at the right moment. His ability to pass the basketball could make him an invaluable player on the roster. As the season progresses, Turner should be in the mix for more playing time.

Before Fairfield
Turner comes to Fairfield after attending The Tilton School. While there, Turner developed into an outstanding guard who could score from anywhere on the floor, but at the same time, could effectively set up an offense. He averaged better than six assists per game as a senior, which helped The Tilton School to a successful season in 2007-08. He achieved success in the classroom as well, as he earned a spot on The Tilton School's Academic Honor Roll.
