11. Myles Turner, Indiana Pacers

There are a lot of mixed feelings on Myles Turner. I too have mixed feelings.

This player screams Amar’e Stoudemire that can shoot 3’s comparisons.

Honestly, the only thing separating Turner from a guy like Jokic is the strong passing ability that the Joker possesses, also Turner may be injury prone? These big men getting serious injuries is making me nervous.

Turner shoots 37 percent from the 3-point line this year, which is a good sign to keep him out of the paint to avoid injuries, if need be. That’s good enough for me to say he will have a long future in this league.

Oh yeah, and he’s 21 years old. Feels like he’s been in the NBA for five years.

Note to Pacers: Play Turner longer than 28 minutes a game.
