MYLES TURNER (IND)
HYBRID
NBA ROLE: SKILLED, two-way PIVOT
Myles Turner, Indiana’s starting pivot, is skilled, plays w/ passion & understands what he needs to bring (every night) for the Pacers to come out on top; one of the league’s premiere Watch DOGs – Turner dictates pace w/ his ability to impact shots on the interior, produces a high volume of blocks* on a regular basis; solid offensive game, feat. quick footwork, pick & pop shots, & his Turneround J; average rebounder for his skill set, needs to work on establishing position early when fighting down low; alters the framework of games by staying active 24/7 – infectious energy has a trickle down effect; decent three-point shooter, can hit trail triples, pick & slips; had a career year in 2022-23 after a significant uptick in his volume & aggression – when Myles bring an A+ effort, Indiana’s prospects significantly rise – solid during Indy’s ECF run in 2024
*avg. career-best 3.4 blocks/night in 2020-21
