Quincy Acy, Ish Smith, Kyle Singler, Ed Davis, and Malcolm Delaney. What do all of these players have in common with Myles Turner?
They are all the eighth highest paid player on their teams. The eighth highest paid player on an NBA team tends to be a rotation player, but for the Pacers, this player is also their best one.
Turner is due to make only $2,569,920 next season, a low amount given the landscape of NBA player salaries. That is great value for a contributor that produces over 14 points and seven rebounds a game as a 21-year-old.
