Myles Turner Is Stepping Up as a Leader… And He Isn’t Even 21 Yet

A season ago, Myles Turner was on the receiving end of tongue-lashings when he made the wrong play. This season, he is the one handing them out.

More and more, Turner is speaking out on the floor when mistakes are made and in timeouts when the team needs to regroup. He is only 20 years-old, but just as he said before the season, he wants to be a leader.

He isn’t going to take over the team just yet, but it looks like he has the respect of his peers already despite many of them being established NBA veterans.
