Myles Turner is only 21 years old. Just going by his age, he should still be in college, not playing basketball in the NBA as the Indiana Pacers starting center.
But even as a rookie, he showed us he was ready for the NBA. There are growing pains, but also moments where his potential is evident.
Perhaps that 30 point, 16 rebound game against the Dallas Mavericks to start this year got us a little too excited. In 14 games Turner scored 20 or more points, but the closest he came to breaking 30 was a 26 point night against the New Orleans Pelicans.
