Myles Turner is all the rage. Hampered early in the 2015-16 season by a thumb injury, Turner garnered league-wide attention with a flurry of blocked shots and silky jumpers upon his return. With Ian Mahinmi gone and the Pacers mandating a philosophical shift towards faster, more-offensive-minded play, he seems all set to take the Pacers into the modern era.
Yet Myles Turner is already old news. He’s a bit of a plodder in an era where quick is the new big, and a stretch-5 in a game that no longer fears statuesque marksmen.
