Future Watch: Myles Turner Basketball Rookie Cards, Pacers – Since coming back from injury with a fractured thumb, the Indiana Pacers’ Myles Turner has been on a tear. Right now, he is the hottest NBA rookie in the Eastern Conference.

The NBA Rookie Ladder reports, “Turner has pushed to sixth in scoring, seventh in rebounding, third in shooting, third in blocks and 10th in minutes among rookies playing 15 minutes or more. He is first in blocks per 48 minutes with room to spare, which could soon put him in contention for the top 10 among all players, once he reaches the qualifying minimum in another couple weeks. Turner has at least three blocks in five of the last 10 outings.”

Myles Turner is a former McDonald’s and Parade All American. He was selected with the 11th overall pick by the Indiana Pacers in the 2015 NBA Draft out of the University of Texas. He was named Big 12 Freshman of the Year in 2015.

At 6′-11″, 243lbs, Turner is averaging 10.7 points and 5.1 rebounds per game. For a more in depth look at his statistics, check out Myles Turner’s NBA Player Profile.
