Ten other players had their names called before Myles Turner at the 2015 NBA Draft. When the Indiana Pacers picked at No. 11, they took the lanky freshman from the University of Texas that faced questions about his shooting, running gait, and if he could handle the physical play of the NBA.
That pick is the steal of the 2015 draft.
If teams were to pick again, there is no doubt Turner would be in the top 10, and possibly the top 5. It is hard to put him ahead of Karl-Antony Town or Kristaps Porzingis, but after those two it isn’t absurd to put Turner as high as third, fourth, or fifth depending on your feelings about him, D’Angelo Russell, and Devin Booker.
