Myles Turner Named Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month

Myles Turner has improved immensely since he started to become a bigger part of Frank Vogel’s rotations in January and has shown the promise Larry Bird saw when he took him with the 11th pick of the draft.

Looking at this numbers, 13.4 points a game was 6th best among rookies in the month of February while his 6.6 rebounds were 5th. Among rookies, his 1.8 blocks a game only trailed Kristaps Prozingis‘ 2.1.

He’s been a reliable scorer thanks to making 51% of his shots, including 41% from midrange and 65.5% in the restricted area.
