Who are the best centers in the NBA today? Obviously, MVP Jokic no one questioned! What about the second? Some people may say that it is Gobert, but Gobert will always play a disappointing performance in the playoffs, no three-point ability, can not come out to defend three points, 3 sessions of DPOY is obviously some moisture; some people may say thick eyebrows, thick eyebrows in the Lakers to win the championship that season, saying that he is the best interior line in the league is not excessive, but in the past two seasons, thick eyebrow offensive and defensive efficiency has declined significantly, has become a glass man. Then there are Towns, Capela, Valanciunas, Sabonis and others, and it seems that Myrstener's name will never be in everyone's consideration!
In the 15-year draft, the Pacers selected Meirschner with the 11th pick in the first round, and Turner was very competitive, and was selected for the rookie second team in the rookie season. In one season, the Pacers made a solid start and became the absolute inside core of the Pacers. But in George's trade, Sabonis and Oladipo were packed into the Pacers, and Meirstener should have been given more possession, but this time Sabonis played. Moreover, he has improved every year, and his data is better, and he has even been selected as an All-Star for two terms. This combination of Ard + Capela seems to have been ignored and forgotten!
Compared with the average level of 20+10+5 in Sabonis in these seasons, Turner's 12+6.5+1 data is a lot more shabby! Turner is only a bighead of Sabonis in the block data, and Turner, who has won two blocks, still has an average of 2.8 blocks per game this season, which is amazing! But even so, Turner's position in the team is still not as good as Sabonis!' Averaging less than 10 shots per game already speaks to Turner's team status. In fact, he should have been valued!
Let's talk about Turner's defense first, Harden is already an MVP-level player, used to attack kaleidoscope, the rhythm is invincible! But even such a Harden still can't hide from Turner's cap. This season, Turner has also staged such a block many times, and Super Point Guards such as Lillard, Curry, and Rose have all suffered on Turner!
Who do you think is an NBA center to make a three-pointer after a crotch dribble like Turner's? Obviously, only Thick Brow and Downs have such skills, and Turner is such a player! This season, Turner has averaged 4.5 shots from outside the three-point line, averaging 1.6 shots per game, or a sizable 36 percent. Nearly half of the outside shots also made Turner one of the league's few No. 5 3D players.
You think Turner will just eat bread and shoot three points? Apparently, Turner's draft template is Ade, who is a player who is excellent in the middle distance, able to block and hold the ball. Turner is also, we can often see Turner such a picture, holding the ball and then a turn into the box to complete the finish with a throw, which is completely the technique of the small defender! Many times, Turner will also shoot in the middle distance after gaining space.
Turner gives people the feeling of hard ah, many times can be separated from the buckle, or even a three-person dunk, this kind of thing can only happen in the early days of his career. Today's Towns has been reduced to a "wolfberry brother", began to play health, many times are on the outside to shoot three points, which also directly caused the waste of talent, timberwolves for many years did not have a good relationship with downs in the playoffs. In terms of ball power, it is clear that Turner, who averages less than 10 shots per game, cannot compare with the big brother of the team, Towns, who averages 17 shots per game, almost twice as many as Turner!
Now, I think Turner's talent was wasted by the Pacers, harder than Downes, more than Capela's way of ending, with a body and technology, Turner is like the peak of the thick eyebrows, but unfortunately Turner does not get the unlimited right to fire like the thick eyebrows. Brog averaged more than 15 shots per game, Sabonis averaged more than 12 shots per game, Le Ver averaged more than 15 shots per game, and even rookie Duarte made more shots than Turner, and Duarte made nearly 12 shots. Turner's position on the team seems to have changed from george's successor to the fifth oldest in the team.
During this time, it was also frequently revealed that Turner was on the shelves! Perhaps, Turner really doesn't fit the mediocre Pacers and seems more suited to a championship team. 17.5 million worth, come to the Lakers for Howard, Jordan Jr. + draft pick + part of the cash, the Lakers are not willing? Turner replaced Zubac + Hardten, George Jr. came back, the team immediately became a championship team, do you think the Clippers are unwilling? Even the Sun, the Knicks, and the Hornets are salivating over Turner, and I think Turner should be a sweet potato in the free market, just matching the chips needed. After all, Turner is only 25 years old, and in terms of talent, Turner's ceiling is very high! After 7 years of playing in the Pacers, unfortunately, the Pacers management still can't see Turner's talent! If you stay with the Pacers, I think he is a more worthy player than Sabonis!
