Indiana Pacers: Is Myles Turner a sleeper for the Most Improved Award?

Goodness this thread is insane. Imagine if we had Ben Simmons.

I will take that bet. The Pacers will make the playoffs next year. Rick is obviously holding this team back. With this year's draft and free agency, Rick will play to win starting next year.

ok signature bet it is...

This is what happens when you have a legit point guard. Stats go up on sub par players. Crazy he can only grab 8 boards a game with how tiny our little team is

Never thought I’d see the day where there are complaints about 8 rebounds per game, but here we are. Are the goal posts heavy?

8 rebounds per game is good...31st in the NBA...only 30 better rebounders in the whole league....only OKC SAS and CHO do not have more than 8 rebounds per game guy...SAS traded Potel and CHO traded Plumlee....So....Myles is not the worst.

I think is obvious that if our favorite player ever is getting his Troy Murphy like numbers and is the number one option like we have seen in the past 20 games or so is that this team is worse than trash.

If I win I would like you to have....As long as Myles is a Pacemate no Playoffs for the Pacers...and you can remove it only when Pacers make playoffs ....or Myles is gone....you can call me anything you like if you win...deal?

Another thing that is obvious is him caring a lot about scoring lately and even I as a hater thought he was a decent defender, now he doesn’t care much about that and all he is doing is a very good Christian Woods impersonation.

Honest question is it all his fault though if he is having to try and guard multiple people because Rick insists on playing 4 midgets?

LOL.I am not going to call you names, but if the Pacers don't make the playoffs ( that includes play in) next year I will put that on my profile or what ever you call it.

No really but let’s use the Boston game as an example, his offense was great (Brown said that was the plan) and as TJ explained in the post game thread his defense and rebounding was pretty bad, he got out rebounded many times by Smart, Tatum and whoever was next to him.

His hands were on the ball and he would lose the rebound crazy stuff.

Do you really expect any other response besides "yes, and get double-digit rebounds as well."

The complainers on here are just all over the place. I'm disappointed as anybody in Myles, but his current play and contract is fine. Nothing to get worked over.

People complain that the Pacers shoudl be tanking and have for years. Now squarely in teh lottery, and it's they'll never get out of the lottery... I think there's enough evidence that they are stealth tanking and trying to load up on one more year of a high draft pick the next year, unleash

What's funny is that all the Turner haters would love Ben Simmons.

Turner's biggest hater on PD thinks Monta Ellis should be in the HOF lol...Monta Ellis of all players hahahaha

You’re a center and get 8 boards a game and you’ve never heard of complaints? What lol?

Its a shame we never had a shot at the guy whos leading the league in rebounding at 12.3 a game....hes also averaging 19ppg on 61% shooting...and 7 assists a game...

if only we had a player like that.....you would do everything u could to hang onto a guy a like that...true winner
