Myles Turner playing the post a question of want, not skill

The Indiana Pacers want Myles Turner to be a better rebounder this season and a better player in the post. Despite having the height of a center, Turner’s been unwilling so far to commit to playing there.

This summer he prepared his body for it by bulking up with muscle and loosening up with yoga. It’s a piece of the puzzle if Turner wants to add post play to his repertoire, but statistically speaking, he already has the skill to play there.

Defensively, he keeps opponents shooting under 50% in the post and is slightly above the league average in that regard.
