There is perhaps no more pressing issue for the Indiana Pacers than deciding whether Myles Turner is a four or a five going forward.
The safe road is also the easy road: Re-sign Ian Mahinmi this summer and rededicate yourself as a big and powerful team that will create matchup problems with a league that is increasingly shrinking. Last year’s numbers seem to indicate that the Pacers actually play better with these big lineups, and Myles Turner provides the floor spacing to make it work offensively.
However, Larry Bird has made no bones about it: He wants to go play smaller and faster.
