Is Myles Turner the 13th best player under the age of 25? The Step Back think so as they slotted the Indiana Pacers center there in their 25 Under 25 countdown. The reasons why he’s there are obvious.
His mid-range and 3-point shooting are above average for a center, and his rim defense holds up well despite the number of times he is called on to defend the rim. He’s the prototypical modern big, though his rebounding certainly needs work.
In Brendon Kleen’s post on Turner, he highlights these areas while noting his physical nature — something we’ve only seen flashes of — must improve for Myles to reach his potential.
