Myles Turner has earned the reputation of being one of the best rim protectors in the game. His defense remains one of the most important facets for one of the league’s best defensive squads.
The Pacers 23-year-old center is coming off of his most productive defensive season to date, and in the running for defensive player of the year. He accumulated 199 blocked shots in just 74 games played; this 2.7 blocks per game rate led the association. Turner had more blocks than the entire Cleveland Cavaliers team.
His presence around the basket shouldn’t be taken lightly by opposing players seeking to drive into the paint, but in many cases it was and this left us with some incredible highlights that showcase the 6’11 center’s defensive prowess and verticality.
