3. Myles Turner
The Dallas Mavericks need help in the middle this offseason. Dwight Powell made little impact the deeper they got into the postseason, which meant Maxi Kleber had a bigger role in the lineup coming off the bench.
Kleber held his own, but he was giving up a lot of size as a center. In Myles Turner, they would receive a similar skill set that Kleber provides, but in a bigger body and at a higher level.
Kleber is solid as a 3-point shooter and rim protector, which is where Turner excels as well. Turner is arguably the best shot-blocker in the NBA, as he would have won the blocking title for the third time had he played in enough games to qualify.
A 34.9 percent 3-point shooter in his career as well, Myles Turner would help keep the floor spaced for Luka Doncic to operate.

The only real knock against Myles Turner is that he isn’t regarded as a great rebounder. He has the size to mix it up but his rebounding numbers are a bit underwhelming. Could that be a result of playing alongside Domantas Sabonis the last few seasons, who is a great rebounder?
Dallas would certainly hope that was the case should they acquire him from the Indiana Pacers. If he remains at the same level as a rebounder, at least Dallas knows that he can make up for it with his impact as a shot-blocker and 3-point shooter.
