I think this is also a valid point you bring here, of course he can improve and should, and I am sure will with time. He does indeed have a turnover per game (in average) he can avoid. That should not be masked or avoided to talk about. In some games more than one.
On other hand some of the turnovers he gets is defenitely due to the harder conditions, such style of play and that he makes more hard passes, much more than the other players listed. For instance his long range passes, I dont think anyone in the league is doing those at that rate and precision, not even attempting those, since they cant make them, one thing is that he is unique in that he has the height to even attempt to make those.Those are way more risky, yet also more rewarding. The stat is related to difficulty of the passes made, style of the passing (where the player is often attemting the pass), how much the player is double teamed once past the initial position, usage rate, the clutch factor (when he is asked to make key passes), and probably many many other things not listed here.
