Myles Turner was a risk when the Indiana Pacers selected him in the lottery of the 2015 NBA Draft. Scouts were worried about his running gait. They said he’d be prone to significant injuries. He was still so young and raw when he entered the league, with his true ceiling up to much speculation.
However, now 4 years into his NBA career, Turner has established himself as one of the top centers in the game. You’d be hard pressed to find 4 or 5 other stretchy, two-way centers league-wide that have a similar ability to impact the game on both sides of the court quite like Myles.
