7. Myles Turner, Indiana Pacers

Now that Turner’s healthy and getting consistent playing time he’s showing the rest of the NBA why he was the No. 2 ranked high school player coming into his one and only season at the University of Texas.

Turner possesses a combination of size and shooting touch that hasn’t been seen in the league outside of a handful of players. He can score from anywhere on the floor, rebound on both ends and protect the rim.

He’s the kind of big man teams want in today’s modern game. If he keeps scoring in bunches I can easily see him having at least one All-Star berth down the road.

Future All-Star? Yes
