Imagine you’re 21 years old. You’re currently the starting center for an NBA team that’s on pace to win 45 games this season and you have a field goal percentage of 50 percent. Despite that, you’ve only slightly improved your points per game from last season to now, so fans are disappointed. I’m describing Kevin Garnett, but Myles Turner can certainly relate.
If you were to take statistics from Turner’s second year, keeping the same number of shots while increasing the number of three-pointers, you’d see his current season’s stats.
Offensively, Turner has plateaued.
