Expect a huge blip in Myles Turner's averages this season. With the franchise trading away superstar Paul George, he has become the longest-serving Pacer on the team. In the two seasons, he has under his belt, Turner has shown constant improvement and the organization will expect him to take another step this year.

He certainly has the opportunity this season to announce himself and make himself more assertive in the team's play. Turner played all 81 games last year, putting up averages of 14.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocks while shooting 51.1% from the field.

Just like many of the centers on this list, he holds many weapons in his offensive arsenal. He can put up a hook shot in the post, he can sink in mid-range jumpers, and has shown the capability to be a force to reckon with it on the glass. And like his averages suggest, he possesses some shot-blocking talent as well.
