Myles Turner has been a constant focal point of criticism for Indiana Pacers fans. While some of these flaks are constructive criticisms in hopes of helping him realize his potential with his unique skillset, most of these are overblown and tend to negate what he brings to the table.
As a result, the NBA’s leading shot blocker also finds himself in a barrage of trade scenarios for the franchise, more so in the present given the bold changes that are starting to rage down upon the Pacers after a season which saw them underachieve and fail miserably. The sundry results of Indiana’s big man tandem in Turner and Domantas Sabonis pushes perhaps the biggest question in demand of a resolute answer this offseason.
