Myles Turner

[byennie]

The way I'd play it: wait until 2 out of Stanley Johnson, WCS, and Turner are off the board. Should be in 9-11 range where that happens. Try to move up from #16 to e.g. 11 or 12 if the price is right. To me the draft is about 12-13 players deep and then there's a noticeable drop-off into 3rd tier types. Johnson / WCS / Turner all have pretty high upsides for late lottery.

Dang, missing playoffs looks pretty good at the moment.

Sound about right to me. I thought 12 would be a good spot for us because we would still have a good shot at prospects but it would mean we also competed all year long.

I dont think its a big deal in the end.

For me
Towns Okafor Mudiay Russel Winslow are all out of range unless you want to give up a Marcus Smart or multiple Brooklyn picks + other assets

However, Hezonja, Prozingis, Johnson, WCS, Turner are all tremendous prospects for me. I dont like Prozingis but any of those guys would be great talents for outside the top 8.

If we get any of those 5 without giving up major assets Id be ecstatic.

If it costs me KO + 16 + 45 Id be delighted.

Chris Mannix-

• Myles Turner’s awkward gait—and the potential that it could indicate a long term health problem—was a topic that hit every college scouts report last season. To alleviate concerns, Turner’s agent, Andy Miller, sent Turner to New York’s Hospital for Special Surgery for a battery of tests. According to Turner, he received a clean bill of health.

I cannot see Turner dropping out of the top 10 now. Anywhere from 5-9 range.

Turner Monroe complement eachother perfectly as far as I can tell

on offense yes but on defense neither are quick enough to guard some of the elite perimeter power forwards

There are other threads where we have talked about Myles Turner. Anyways. IMO he is the BPA in our range. I would be happy trading Avery to the Heat or Pacers to get him (and keeping our 16th).

He also compares well with Aldridge. 6'10'' w/o shoes, 7'4'' wingspan, 9'2'' standing reach. 84%ft shooter.

His shot is raw but he has a great stroke. IMO in time he will tighten up his stance and make his shot "his own".

Remember in the begining of the season when we were playing KO at center and our offense was great? This kid can help us do that AND THEN BE A RIM PROTECTOR

EDIT: Myles Turner was measured with a 7'4'' wingspan and 9'4'' standing reach.

We need to get this guy. It is so much more realistic and conservative to trade Avery or other players for Turner. Especially if James Young looks good. Chances are we will do what we did last year and help teams facilitate trades and move money so that we can get picks in return. Thats how we got IT. We need more time.

Turner has a good chance to gain quickness. He may never be the qickest player at pf, but was Duncan? Turner is much longer than other 4's and that will help him. Also those elite 4's will have a hard time defending Turner therefore making them more tired both ways.IMO

both of you get TP's. I think Avery has played his best basketball for us. With James Young, Evan Turner Marcus Smart, and IT; plus we will probably pick up an unwanted contract for a pick like we did last year, could be a gaurd.

We are better off going for Myles Turner and using players like Avery, Evan Turner, and KO to do it.

Also one way to see that he has improved is to watch the newest video and Turners new shot. If you compare his old shot to his new one the improvement is pretty obvious His gate is much better and he has tightened it up. Still needs work before it is like KG's lol but I like this kid.

People are going to compare him to JJJ.  I could live with him as our pick especially if we nab Upshaw later on.

JJJ is still dif, but I get what ur saying. I blame JJJ for us not taking a chance on Rudy Gobert

[Future Celtics Owner]

This kid would be great, especially in our system. I would def trade up to get him.
