Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner is one of the leading candidates for Defensive Player of the Year. After his masterful defensive performance against the Mavericks, Myles Turner proved that he is the front runner.
Myles Turner may have had one of the best defensive games of his career last night against the Dallas Mavericks. In the impressive 109-94 victory, Myles had seven blocked shots and two steals and finished the game with a +15 plus/minus. Not only did Myles fill up the box score, but the presence he commands down low was on full display.
