I have heard people claim, people who feign knowledge of matters NBA-related, that Myles Turner is lacking somewhat in the “Basketball IQ” department. I just snort-laughed a little bit, because their claims are not only easily refutable, but born from deep-seated jealously. There are jealous because Turner has a sweet RAINBOW JUMPER, while their own jumpers are FLAT and UNAESTHETIC. Case closed.
People who share Turner’s high-arcing jumper (people like me, hell yeah Purvis Short up in here) can see clearly that the only the thing that Turner lacks is post moves. At least in comparison to the advanced-ness of the rest of his offensive game. Not like modern NBA bigs even really need post moves when they can just launch sweet jumpers all the time. Al Jefferson is still on the Pacers, right? Right. I just checked and he totally is. Perfect! Before Jefferson dies from being old as dirt, have him teach Turner some additional post moves. Only the really good ones, the ones that conned teams into giving him all that money once upon a time. Maybe it’s already happened: the move at 0:19 made me seriously question the elite-ness of Joel Embiid.
