Draft Targets
Pick #6: Myles Turner, Power Forward/Center, Texas
A need for a quality power forward to pair next to superstar C/PF DeMarcus Cousins has been most glaring for a few years now, and Turner is the answer. Not many players can offer both quality perimeter scoring and rim protecting, but Turner does. His range is key in order to give space for Cousins to operate in the post, as is his defense – allowing Cousins to focus more on the offensive side of the ball. Though not as pro-ready as some of his fellow prospects, Turner’s ceiling is as high as anyone’s.
