After a productive season with the Longhorns he declared for the NBA Draft, and was drafted 11th overall by the Pacers in the 2015 NBA Draft.
He is entering his seventh season in the NBA, and all of his years in the league have been in Indiana playing for the Pacers.
Last season, he averaged 12.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game.
However, his most important stat came on the defensive end.
His 3.4 blocks per game led the NBA in that category, and that is the second time that Turner has led the entire NBA in blocks per game.
The Pacers are in the middle of the preseason right now, but will start their regular season in Charlotte, North Carolina, against the Hornets on October 20.
As for the football team, the Longhorns are off to a great start at home in Texas over the Sooners.
