Myles Turner makes a lot of sense for Charlotte who is not fully committed to Noah Vonleh or Cody Zeller at this point. Veterans Marvin Williams and Jason Maxiell play no role in the long-term picture either.

Turner is a bit of a project, but one that could yield a high reward if he becomes the baseline pick and pop player that many expect.

If Turner could put some work in the weight room in, he could develop into a very good power forward. If he does not, he will remind fans in Charlotte of another former player, Tyrus Thomas.
