Kevin Pritchard on Myles Turner: We need him to be the defensive anchor to totally disrupt the game
Turner ended last season with averages of 12.7 points, 6.4 boards and 1.8 blocks
Kevin Kritchard, gm of the Indiana Pacers, during an interview with NBA.com talks about his starting center, Myles Turner: We need him to score some, but we need him to be the defensive anchor to totally disrupt the game on that side of the ball. He really can block shots. He can be the intimidator inside with his length and his athletic ability at the rim. I still think that's one of the most valuable tools in this league. I remember some of the elite guys in this league … Patrick (Ewing) and (Hakeem) Olajuwon and (Dikembe) Mutombo … they changed the game. You didn't go in (the lane).
