Myles Turner, Indiana Pacers
2014-15 Stats: N/A
Because the Indiana Pacers have decided to implement this more uptempo styled offense and the fact that they’ve officially moved on from Roy Hibbert, Myles Turner has to be considered their most important player heading into this season.
If the Pacers are going to be better than just a playoff filler in the Eastern Conference, they’re going to need Turner to be in the running for Rookie of the Year. And, after dominating in summer league, I believe he has the capability to be that for the Pacers this season.
They’re definitely going to need it.
