Hype or Bust: Week 7 edition

Cleveland Cavaliers v Atlanta Hawks
The Cleveland Cavaliers are currently on a 12-game win streak

Myles Turner (Indiana Pacers):

Indiana Pacers v Chicago Bulls
Turner hasn't improved as much as they had hoped

Turner was the breakout star for the Pacers last season, averaging almost 15 points and 8 rebounds per game. His blocks per game were at a mean 2 rejections per game, along with a steal. The Pacers only expected him to reach higher and build around their star big man. But things haven't been as rosy as they hoped.

He has been averaging just about 14 points per game, along with 8 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game, staying at about the same level as last season. His Week 7 also wasn't as great as the Pacers would've hoped for it to be, averaging 17 points and 7 rebounds per game, along with 2 blocks a game.

Even if he isn't exploding yet, Turner is a young big man who is destined for big things looking at his on-court smartness and awareness. I would still mark him as a bust for this week.

BUST: 3.5/10
