Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle marveled at the uniqueness of New Orleans Pelicans’ star Zion Williamson when applauding Myles Turnerâs defense/rim presence following Wednesdayâs 123-114 home win (23 points/3 rebounds/4 assists/10-20 FG/1-2 3-PT/2-5 FT).
(via Indiana Pacers):
âMyles took the challenge, itâs a tough challenge. That is one physical force. Thatâs like Shaquille OâNeal playing point guard and has the quickness and the speed and the rim explosion and the passing and everything. So, heâs just a very unique player. I question whether weâll ever see a guy quite like him again, heâs just very, very special. Game planning is like getting Rosetta Stone for two days and learning a new language. Youâre doing things that your brain is not used to seeing, and to be able to just simply hold your own, you gotta have a lot of guts and a lot of wherewithal because itâs going to be a physical pounding. Myles did his job tonight.â
