3. Myles Turner

Myles Turner has worked his way into becoming one of the most versatile big men in the league.

He is an elite defender, leading the league in blocks last season and in the top 10 this season despite missing eight games. Turner is one of the best rim protectors in the league and is solid at covering the perimeter.

His offensive game has been improving each year. He is on a career-high pace from the 3-point line and is shooting a solid 45.7 percent from the field. Turner can finish around the rim and space the floor at a good rate.

The Pacers have not yet made Turner available in trade talks, citing that they want to see how he and Victor Oladipo finish the season together once Oladipo returns from injury. However, Zach Lowe reported that every NBA team looking for a big man should keep their eye on this situation.

Overall, Turner is averaging 12.9 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in under 30 minutes a game. It wouldn’t be difficult for the Warriors to place Turner into their lineup and allow him to dominate in his own way.
