Rebounding. Pretty solid team rebounding impact on the defensive end (positive on/off in the last five seasons).
Scoring. Take a look at his shot chart. He can do it all. 3-point range. Midrange. Extended post. Ellbow. Post. Finishing at the rim. On elite efficiency (higher volume + efficiency compared to Wood).
Not sure if I would take him over Allen but there is a lot to like about his game. My only concern is his health.
First of all, unless you have a DeLorean that can do 88mph, the last 5 seasons matter none. Let's look at last year, not 5 years ago...
Defense... Pacers were 23rd in Dfg%/fg% +/- last year. Turner was -0.8% His Dfg% was an abysmal 49.7% Wood, who we said couldn't be on the court because of his defense was 48.5%.
Rebounding... dude is a terrible rebounder for a big. Let's look at rebounds and factor in deferred. This is where true rebounding capability resides. Adjust Reb% 56.2. That puts him behind Morris, Luka, Wood, Bullock, Kyrie, Bertans, Frank, DFS, McGee, THJ, Din, Hardy, Green, Holiday, and Maxi. Basically DEAD LAST if he were a Mav, the worst rebounding team in the league.
Scoring, ya, I already said his scoring is a plus. efg% of 61.2 is legit.
Point is what does this team need around Luka and Kyrie. Rebounding and defense. Myles is under-average to abysmal in both categories.
Jarrett Allen is 2 years younger, same $, and is exceedingly better at both rebounding and defense. Then, as you mentioned, health. Turner has averaged missing 32 games the last 3 years.
