FOX Sports Indiana ran a graphic before the broadcast of the Pacers' game against the Lakers on Tuesday showing the five franchise players who have reached 500 career blocks the quickest. Jermaine O'Neal led with 201 games, followed by Herb Williams (251), Myles Turner (253), Rik Smits (281), and Roy Hibbert (307).
The case can be made for Turner having become the franchise's all-time best shot-blocker, however, even if his numbers aren't necessarily the greatest. And that's only part of the story.
Teams don't play inside-out on offense nearly as often as they once did, preferring to fire up 3-pointers rather than drop the ball into the low post.
