Myles Turner Second In Blocks in the Playoffs
Myles Turner has made his presence known in the playoffs with his blocks, as well as his scoring.
Myles Turner is the steal of the draft as the Indiana Pacers’ No. 11 pick continues to impress despite being a 20-year old rookie in the playoffs.
He’s second in blocks in the postseason with 3.4 blocks a game, just behind the Miami Heat’s Hassan Whiteside. Among rookies in the playoffs, Dallas’ Salah Mejri is the next closest with 1.3 blocks a game.
He’s also leading all rookies in the postseason with 11.7 points a game, more than Stanley Johnson, Frank Kaminsky, and Justise Winslow, all of which were picked before him in last year’s draft. His 6.5 rebounds a game are also best among rookies.
