Someone will trade up for Myles Turner
Most NBA Mock draft have Myles Turner geting drafted between picks 10-15. Quite frankly, that’s as close to a steal as you’re going to get in the lottery. Turner has a solid ability to shoot the jumper and has all the tools to be a good defender in the NBA.
If anything, most teams were turned off by his lack of athleticism and impact during his Freshman year in college — not because of his inability or lack of tools. And I feel like a team is going to want to take advantage of that opportunity.
We’ve heard rumors that the Celtics want to move up to snag Turner, but that could just be them posturing to select another player. Who knows?
I could be them, or it could be another team. Either way, it’s going to be someone.
