Myles Turner has dazzled on both ends for the Indiana Pacers this season, putting together a career year without necessarily changing his statistical profile. I highlighted what’s changed for him offensively this year and his improved feel early on, but what’s changed defensively?
Myles finished in the Top 5 of Defensive Player of the Year voting in 2018-19. He’s long been a top-notch rim protector and all-around defensive force; he’s finished ranked in the Top 4 in blocks per game in the league every year since 2016-17.
One of the few stats that jumps off the screen when diving into Myles’ advanced numbers is his steal percentage.
