Myles Turner is a stretch-five and elite rim protector for the Milwaukee Bucks, signed in 2025 free agency on a four-year, $109 million deal. A decade-long Indiana Pacer and that franchise's all-time blocks leader, he led the NBA in blocks twice (2019, 2021) and reached the 2025 NBA Finals with Indiana before joining Milwaukee.

Beyond the game

Turner is one of the league's more distinctive personalities off the floor: a practicing Jehovah's Witness who unwinds by building elaborate Lego sets and practicing yoga for body maintenance. Cerebral and even-keeled, he's spent a career as an underappreciated defender — famously never named to an All-Defensive team despite leading the NBA in blocks, a snub he has publicly vowed to render moot.

His game is the blueprint of the modern center: a shot-blocking anchor who spaces the floor from three. After a decade defining Indiana's defense and a run to the 2025 Finals, the move to Milwaukee was a fresh chapter — and, amid the Giannis trade drama, a reminder that his steady two-way presence is exactly what contenders covet in the middle.
