Turner could be a great target as a defensive upgrade at 5 with the Doe Doe at 4 lineup. I just wonder about what type of expanded role he is looking for? If he just wants to be a featured rim runner taking over Powell's offensive role playing with a clean paint instead of a stretch 5, then that's perfect. If he wants to get more offense ran through him similar to how KP was bitching, then that's a problem.
I think he can be a decent rim runner. He doesn't have many dunks, but that's likely due to playing with Sabonis in the front court every year.
Dunk stats 54 dunks in 74 games in 2018-2019.
If you look at some dunk compilations though, seems like he'd be fine to rim run if he were featured and willing. Most of these dunks are when Sabonis isn't on the floor. There are injury concerns with his foot the past 2 years to consider as well.

Also wonder why Carlisle would be willing to trade him in the offseason. Seems like the type of 5 he's looking for. The Pacers rumors from the post above says they may keep him to see how he works out with Haliburton at the start of next year, and then potentially be dealt at the deadline.
