The analytics perspective
Kevin Pelton: When he was on the court, Texas big man Myles Turner was one of the most productive freshmen in college basketball. Playing behind a veteran front line, Turner averaged just 22.2 minutes per game, producing an unremarkable raw stat line of 10.1 points and 6.5 rebounds per game and 2.6 blocks per game. That projects to 18.3 points, 11.8 rebounds and 4.8 blocks per 40 minutes -- not dissimilar to Kentucky center Karl-Anthony Towns' line of 19.5, 12.7 and 4.4.
