Myles Turner Has Plenty to Learn From Al Jefferson

It’s been a hands-on learning experience for Al Jefferson as the backup center for the Indiana Pacers got to know Myles Turner this summer.

Dealing with defending Turner on a regular basis has taught Jefferson at least one thing about the second-year player.

Jefferson said it “sucks” to guard Turner in scrimmages on the Grady and Big Joe Show last month.

He also told the show he was impressed with how Turner stretched the court.

“Myles Turner is something special. Things that he can do as far as playing the five and he can play the four because he can shoot the three, can dribble the ball.
