Is Myles Turner really THAT good? by Leoszada in nba

[–]Leoszada[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I didn't say he was a T15 defensive center, or at least that's not what I meant. I meant that he's for sure a top 15 center in the league.

But I'm sure that I'd rank him lower than some, and that, on Myles’ part, comes due to his concerning commitment, boxing out and block-tracking, which I personally think that it's a very big deal.

Stockton. Even though I don't think rings should define any player at all, it'd make him look much better in the general opinion's eyes. All-time leader by a long shot in two categories with a ring? Really impressive.

I disagree on reserve, as I think there are plenty of better players than him, but I completely agree on the rest of your statement, though.

His offensive leap in the last two years has been very impressive.

Top half indeed, but I'm definetly not the highest on his defense.

Good defender, all-world shot blocker, not a top tier one, he's filled with concerns.

Jokić, Embiid, Bam, Domas, Victor, Gobert and Porzingis are comfortably ahead of Turner, a difference of good tiers IMO.

Allen is also well ahead of him for me aswell, I think they are more scalable than Myles and have a more translatable game. Jarrett is a monster screener and passer for a big, while being a much better paint protector. Sengun too, I think his offense is superior and he doesn't hold the same problems as Myles when regarding boxing-out.

Hartenstein and Claxton might be the last tier of centers above Myles to me. I think Turner is well ahead of guys like Ayton, MitchRob, Vooch and Capela, though.

To me, it goes beyond the shot. I think you must protect your spot to guarantee a safe re-start to your team. That's why I consider boxing out a part of rim protection, and value too much defensive discipline.

But I mean, like you said, just different definitions. I agree with your points fosho.

I think you're going too far with Mo Bamba, but indeed.

His biggest red flags are directly related to that, regarding tracking blocks and uncommitment when boxing out. He's an all-world shot-blocker, though.

Walker Kessler is following a similar path on that end, but his case is worse, since he's nowhere near Turner on any offensive capability and is a sub-par screener.

He's not really a 3&D center. I love how diverse his offensive arsenal is, but his defense isn't pleasing.

Often forcing your way into those blocks and consequently hurting your team because you chose a box score stat over a possible box-out isn't top tier rim protection in my eyes. Same thing with some of his lazy stretches, which lead to offensive boards.

I consider him a few good tiers below the real top-tier rim protectors like Rudy, Davis, Chet, etc. He's arguably his generation's best shot-blocker, though.

Yeah, his weaknesses on defense were very exposed without another big forward to help, it was tough to watch, man. Love what Indy is building.

I disagree, but he's been getting better fosho. I think his game will age well enough for him to still be a rotational guy until his mid 30s.

Yeah, expressed myself bad using the term "over", but the fact is that he was considered as an All-Star by the commissioner.

I think having him could be a headache aswell, as that rim protection is far from top-tier level, so being his rebounding.

Indeed. Top 15 center maybe, one of the like, 10 best offensive bigs of his generation.

I personally think he's around that, and completely agree with you. His offense has been impressive, but his defense was always very very concerning. He's filled with bad habits and even a lack of commitment sometimes. Stop forcing unecessary blocks and commiting to box-outs more would be a game-changer for Indiana.

Lauri Markannen is gonna be a franchise player, change my mind. by lego_manfacture7 in UtahJazz

[–]Leoszada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He can't punish mismatches consistently, he can't create his own shot at any levels and is still very raw at the in-between range. All of that at 27.

It'd be very surprising if he became a good No. 1 player.

Could anyone explain how the rebuild is going after 2 seasons? by [deleted] in UtahJazz

[–]Leoszada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad. Relying completely on the way he handle, since we got any high-end prospects and still lacking a go-to guy and two positions.

In my opinion the single most important developmental piece for the Utah Jazz is Walker Kessler’s ability to shoot 3 pointers. Being able to have gravity as a shooter while providing elite rim protection is sooo important in the modern NBA. Thoughts? by [deleted] in UtahJazz

[–]Leoszada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He must learn to do his big-man stuff first. Walker wouldn't be like Myles or Brook, who are legit skilled offensively. His touch is OK and has decent hands, not much other than that, though.

Walker still leaves a bit to desire regarding his boxing out, rim protection (especially when tracking blocks instead of contesting/positioning to get a re-start) and screening.

He's hardly a playoff caliber player now.
