Myles Turner should be a lesson to all

[Future Celtics Owner]

It's unlikely that Turner will ever be as good as KAT is now. Towns is freaking unbelievable. He's a once in a generation, transformative talent. Turner is a nice player, but he's the type of guy who you can find in most drafts these days (Poeltl).

You know of a lot of Big's that can block shots and spread the floor? Outside of this draft class, AD and Ibaka were the only ones last year. This year Hortford and idk....who else I don't think Bosh should be concidered. TP if you anyone can spout out an elite shot-blocker that spreads the floor.

D$G23.

1.4 bpg is not elite but i'll still give you the tp because who you said and the dude does protect the paint.

Depends on what defines elite. Brook Lopez is a decent floor spacer who blocks almost 2 shots a game.

I do like turner and understand how valuable an extra 5 picks up in the draft could have been, but let's wait and see before we call him a shot-blocking 3 point threat.

In 19 games he has 17 blocks and 0 3s on a team who's 2 best bigs are Lavoy Allen and Ian Mahimni

He's got potential and an absolutely terrific skill set but let's not anoint him just yet.

Also from what we've heard it sounds like Ainge would have used the 11th pick to trade up for Winslow had he had that pick.

Myles Turner has never attempted an NBA three pointer.  I'm going to hold off on calling him an elite long range shooter.

0 career 3s and 17 career blocks doesn't reach my definition of elite.

I understand he'll improve and I liked Him a lot too providing the gait checked out, but let's just pump the breaks.

Myles Turner looks absolutely awesome. Physically he looks so much better than in college. Stronger. Smoother. More explosive to the ball. Terrific. The defensive potential is fantastic. The scoring potential is there. The jump-shooting is beautiful. He rebounds. Needs to work on his passing but the rest of the package is hugely impressive.

One of the most talented young bigs in the league today.

DeMarcus Cousins, Karl Towns and Anthony Davis are the only centers I'd take over Myles Turner. Gobert is a tough one. Close decision. I take M.Turner over Drummond. Certainly over the likes of G.Monroe, Nurkic, J.Valanciunas, D.Jordan, S.Adams, E.Kanter.

I wanted Winslow or Myles Turner with that Bobcats pick and yes, Turner is great.
The fact that he's 19 years old is amazing too.


But the best part about that video was that the Nuggets won and kept our Nets pick safer (for now). Woohoo Myles!

Lopez does not space the floor effectively. He's got a streaky mid-range J with a slow, flat-footed release. He needs a lot of space to get it off comfortably. The slightest bit of motion throws him off considerably (though he does have a decent fadeway from the baseline).

He's also a stationary shot-blocker who becomes a borderline defensive liability outside of the paint.

Turner has a smoother, quicker jumper that has greater potential range and accuracy. He's also more mobile and capable of bothering a greater range of shots.

If Brook Lopez was as quick and light on his feet as Turner he'd be a much more effective player in the modern NBA.

I really like Myles Turner. Not sure what lesson is supposed to be learned (or care in the end), but I do like Myles quite a bit.

[Quetzalcoatl]

It would have been great to get him, but we can't throw games.  I just think nobody thought that Crowder and IT would be as good as they are and Danny was planning on picking there

how many Myles Turner threads have you started in the last few months? you're aware he was picked before the Cs 2015 1st, yes?

Turner might eventually stretch the floor, but he has attempted exactly ZERO threes in his NBA career.

This may be my first or possibly 2nd one in a few months. I post about him a lot so your probably confusing the 2...........and you did not get the lesson.

I never said he was an elite anything, but he has the ability to be and that does not come along in every draft class ala Jacob Poelt.
