Turner Putting League On Notice with Strong Start

Myles Turner's track record speaks for itself. Through his first five NBA seasons, the Pacers center has clearly established himself as one of the league's top shot-blockers.

Turner has finished in the top four in the NBA in blocks in each of the past four seasons and led the league in 2018-19, when he swatted 2.7 shots per game.

Yet Turner has never been named to one of the league's two All-Defensive teams and has only received votes for Defensive Player of the Year once, in 2018-19, when he finished fifth but did not receive a first-place vote.
