I think it is all contingent on Turner's progress. While the trajectory is phenomenal considering that two years ago other teams didn't want to touch him because he ran the wrong way literally (since fixed!), he still needs 15 to 20 lbs of muscle. Indy also appears to be a wing short. I sort of look at them as Diet Warriors LOL The lack of another long wing makes them very vulnerable on the defensive boards like Warriors regular. I see them getting to the conference finals only if they can avoid CLE. I think they have a sluggers chance against any other team in the Conference. Here are the big IFs. If Glen Robinson III and Georges Niang develop quickly this year then they suddenly turn into contenders by virtue of now having a really solid second unit. Realistically however I think next year will be the year they really go deep. 2 years to contend. Now, if somehow they can get another stopper at 1 or 2 before the trade deadline.........sky is the limit. Thats where the imagining would have come in. PG13 is actually a 2. Imagine a lineup of Teague, PG13, Leonard, Young and upcoming swat master Turner. Only Teague would be a liability on defense.
