Indiana Pacers rookie big man Myles Turner cleared the paint and threw down a monster slam on the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Ever since the Indiana Pacers began giving rookie big man Myles Turner more playing time, the move has been paying off dividends big time for the team. Turner has been exciting to watch and he can do a variety of things on the court.
Against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night, Turner was showing off why he was a top pick in the draft. After taking a dish from the top of the key, Turner decided he was going to take the ball all the way.
The Cavaliers got caught watching Turner take off and every defender got out of Turner’s way as he slammed home the ball for two big points early on.
Turner has rare talent for a big man. He can shoot the ball and he has great athletic ability. He is also incredibly explosive and skilled with the ball in his hands. The Cavaliers are a team that prides themselves on defense, but even they knew they were better off letting the rookie fly.
It’s a breakout highlight moment for the Pacers rookie and it’s the type of plays that they had in their minds when they drafted him.
