“Myles Turner’s impact is astronomical. He should be the Defender of the Year”

The campaign for Myles Turner either the defender of the year is launched on the side of the Pacers. Friday after the victory of his team against the Mavericks in a match where he blocked 7 shots, the interior said:

“I have the biggest defensive impact in the whole league. When I’m in the field, things change a lot. When I’m not there, it’s obvious that my presence is missing. So I want to go out on the pitch, keep being me, keep defending with these guys. I have grown enormously. I’ve put so much pressure on myself over the past two years to get on the court and have a bigger impact, which maybe wasn’t even necessary. I don’t need to score to impact the game. I know where I’m leaving my mark and I take things as they come offensively. In the previous game, it was the first time in my career that I didn’t score and obviously it’s frustrating, but defensively I was all over the place, and the team wants me to keep doing that. For the attack it will come naturally. ” Myles Turner

He can count on his teammates to promote him.

“I think what people don’t talk about in our team is the impact of Myles. Its impact is astronomical. He is the reason we have a good defense. His ability to counter shots, to dissuade opponents from driving to the circle makes him Defender of the Year. I’m really going to start campaigning for it. He should be the Defender of the Year. I just hope it’s not a matter of politics for this trophy, because otherwise he will win it. ” Malcolm Brogdon

Against Dallas his impact was undeniable, beyond his 7 blocks. In the defensive system of Nate bjorkgren where there are switches from positions 1 to 5, it manages to cover a lot of ground and its mobility and its length hampered Dallas, limited to 40%.

“He did a few blocks from behind. Cons where one would have thought that the opponent was going to be able to put a layup, then he appeared out of nowhere a few times to put his hand on the ball. His presence inside and his activity has been enormous. ” Nate bjorkgren

Turner’s main asset is his huge 3.5 block average, but collectively Indiana’s defense will have to progress for him to have a real chance, because we know that this is an important parameter and for the moment. Rudy Gobert or Ben Simmons seem to hold the rope.

“It’s not just the cons. The blocks are what can be seen on the stats sheet, but there is also my ability to switch to the backs, to control the racket, to make my presence felt. That’s what I really care about. ” Turner
