Few teams allow more shots at the rim than the Indiana Pacers, but few teams have someone like Myles Turner protecting the rim.
Despite facing the third most shots at the rim than anyone else in the NBA, opponents shoot 49.6% at the rim, putting him in similar territory as Tristan Thompson, Robin Lopez, and Gorgui Dieng. While some of the NBA’s elite rim protectors (Hassan Whiteside, Rudy Gobert, and Joel Embiid) still rank ahead of him, he’s currently in good company.
For fans of the Myles High Club, there is no surprise in the fact he’s fourth in this group of top rim-defenders he ranks fifth with 2.
