Re: SMU is now a darkhorse for Myles TurnerNo one seems to be talking about Texas. Are they out of the mix?
Pony up!
Re: SMU is now a darkhorse for Myles Turner
I believe they're solidly in the mix, if not the favorite. If I remember correctly Myles once said he was saving his last official visit for Austin.
Re: SMU is now a darkhorse for Myles TurnerI consider the Frank Erwin Center as a similar cemetery to Houston's bball stadium. Rarely full, too big, terrible sight lines. All Horns fans would agree. Awful place to watch a game. But, damn…it doesn't get much better than Austin, TX
Re: SMU is now a darkhorse for Myles TurnerHe needs to take an official to SMU, call the other teams and let them know he is not interested, and get this ovee with!

I lived in Austin for several years. That's spot on "[College] referees couldn't manage a White Castle." -Mark Cuban
Re: SMU is now a darkhorse for Myles TurnerI think putting Ben Moore at the 3 would be a good idea as well.

Re: SMU is now a darkhorse for Myles TurnerI agree now. I would not have if it were not for the Cincy game.
Re: SMU is now a darkhorse for Myles Turner
No (well depending on the matchup) but we could use his length at the 3. "We will play man to man and we will pick you up at the airport." - Larry Brown

Re: SMU is now a darkhorse for Myles Turner
Does Ben Moore have the outside shot required of a 3? That's an important skill in a 3 as without having to respect a 15+ foot jump shot, the defense can collapse in and deny the interior game.

I lived in Austin before it became San Francisco. All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand
Re: SMU is now a darkhorse for Myles Turner
He can't defend off the bounce at the 3, I don't think. All his advanced hoops life, he has guarded guys who strictly face. he's also a long strider
Re: SMU is now a darkhorse for Myles Turner
I worried about that as well
Re: SMU is now a darkhorse for Myles Turner
I agree with this, but the other day I was curious about him and went to read what articles said about him when he signed. I did not see much from analysts that stuck out, but his coach (aau I believe) claimed he could defend 1-4 at college. Obviously have to take it with a grain of salt, but he put it out there. Actually there was one analyst that mentioned how much he had progressed from his junior to senior year as he grew into his height. I think we have seen that continue.
Re: SMU is now a darkhorse for Myles Turner
I agree as well, there's room to improve big time. But he's the most versatile out of the bigs and he does have a nice jumper. It would take a solid summer's worth of work but I think he can be a stretch 3. I'm not asking him to be a 3 point threat, I'm asking him to be a jump shooter that provides length and I think he does that. I don't think anyone has seen him defend on the perimeter but he's pretty athletic so it wouldn't surprise me if he can play a stretch 3.
