My Take
Myles Turner is one of those guys the basketball world took forever to fully appreciate, and honestly that's on us. A 6'11" center out of Bedford, Texas who went 11th overall to Indiana back in 2015, he spent a decade quietly becoming one of the best shot-blockers in the league — multiple years leading the NBA in blocks, the kind of rim protector who changes what the other team is willing to attempt in the paint. He's not a flashy guy, never made an All-Star team despite deserving a look, but Pacers fans knew what they had: a mobile, stretch-five who could step out and knock down threes while anchoring the defense. Watching Indiana's unexpected deep playoff runs in recent years, Turner was always a key reason the young core had room to operate. A quiet, dependable cornerstone who earned every minute he got.
