Myles Turner has always been a good defender, especially for his age. He averaged 2.1 blocks, 7.3 rebounds, and .9 steals as a 20-year-old. For reference, only four players have reached those numbers at age 20 or younger; Turner, Anthony Davis, Kevin Garnett, and Chris Webber.
That’s elite company. Oh, and he’s still improving on that end of the floor.
This year, Myles is a force to be reckoned with. Players attack the basket only to be caught scared by the long-limbed and athletic Turner under the rim.
