"And for as thrilling as it is to see Turner pin James’ dunk against the backboard, his most impressive blocks on Monday night were a touch less dramatic. James challenged Turner on subsequent occasions inside, twice attempting to bait the rookie into the air with a pump fake. Turner stayed vertical but didn't overcommit, altering both of LeBron’s shot attempts with discipline far beyond his years:
If Turner can get to the point where he’s moving, sizing up, and contesting like that on a consistent basis, he’ll rank as one of the better defensive bigs in the league. That this is so obvious this early in his NBA career is what makes Turner’s emergence for Indiana so important. The contemporary Pacers move forward with a new starter cast in the image of the modern big man – all range shooting and rangy defense. They’re playing faster if not necessarily smaller, more dynamically even as they’re learning new lineups. Indiana’s transformation has come at last, its evolutionary purpose renewed not in form but in function."
