I wasn’t a part of the fanbase at the time of Smits, but outside of the three pointer him and Myles have nearly identical stats. Even advanced stats like Ortg, Drtg, VORP, and win shares are essentially the same. So why is it that Rik Smits is universally loved and held as a legend, but it seems half the fan base hates Myles? Stats of course don’t tell the whole story, so can any veteran fans weigh in here?

    Seeing pacers fans saying Myles still got things to prove blow my mind lol who do y’all think he is?

    He’s not an all star, not a second option on a championship team, and is an average rebounder.

    But one thing he is for sure is one of the best shot blocker in the league and one of the best shooter at his position, making him the perfect modern center in the NBA. There’s a reason why basically every nba team wanted Myles Turner at one point.
