Myles Turner isn't LaMarcus Aldridge (yet), but his dedication might get him there.
Myles Turner was the amalgamation the Indiana Pacers needed to find the balance between their tried and failed divergent identities. As much as they were too small and inconsistent with C.J. Miles at the four, the Pacers were too slow and stagnant with Lavoy Allen. Turner's ability to space the floor without sacrificing rim protection provided the team with the happiest possible middle.
But when head coach Frank Vogel inserted the then 19-year-old into the starting lineup back on January 28 against the Atlanta Hawks, Turner had only logged one minute of playing time next to Ian Mahinmi, per NBA Wowy.
