Interesting list. Thanks for sharing. But please don't say refer to years in the 2000's at "longer ago". It makes me feel old. When I read most of them were "longer ago", I was expecting seasons from the 1960s or 1970s.

My gut reactions are Tinsley or Royce White.

Tinsley because he played a very schoolyard type of ball which was electric but also led to turnovers. How the game was played in that era I suspect resulted in a higher baseline of turnovers as well.

White because ISU had no point guard that year. He had excellent handles for a big man but when he handled the ball so much it resulted in a good amount of turnovers
 
Tinsley was so talented it was hard to blame him for thinking he could dribble through anything, and with some of his passes, you'd have to be psychic to know that they were coming (even if some of them were amazing passes).
Most of his turnovers were careless and nonchalant
 
With Tinsley, you had to take the risk with the reward. He was always entertaining.

Without looking, I bet most of Tinsley's turnovers came on that spin move coming down the middle of the lane. He just dared teams to try to stop him with multiple players.

As predictable as it was at times, he made several defenders lose their shoes with that sucker.

Since showing total TO, how many years they played . Monte had 165 but over 4 years.

And how many minutes? Seems only fair that the guy who plays the entire game will have more than whoever comes in off the bench in the last minute.

Doug Collins is on that list....I haven't thought about him in forever. He was one of my favorite players back in those days. Tons of fun to watch and had personality...crafty...was only 6'1" but had great hops, amazing defender.

Here is a 40 minute interview with him from 2020. Sounds like he is a successful girls basketball coach.

I think it was LE who said whether good or bad for our team Tinsley was the most disruptive force he'd ever seen on a basketball court.
