Sometimes you just wonder how these decisions would’ve impacted future actions:

19. Tyrese Haliburton

 

6-5 guard, freshman, Iowa State. Averaged 6.9 points, 3.5 assists, 0.8 turnovers, 1.5 steals

 

Haliburton is a very interesting prospect in large part because of the limited role he had this season. Analytics people around the NBA are very interested, as Haliburton knocked down 3s at a 43.4 percent clip and dished out a near 5-to-1 assist-to-turnover rate as a freshman. He’s also terrific defensively, posting both a 2.7 steal rate and a 2.8 block rate that each finished in the top-10 in the Big 12. Traditional NBA scouts are a bit more worried, as Haliburton’s shot takes a while to get off, and he doesn’t necessarily seem to have the elite level burst you need to break down a defense. His frame also leaves some concerned, as he’s quite skinny. Currently, he seems most like a secondary ball-handler point guard, in the mold of a Lonzo Ball or Fred VanVleet — a guy who keeps your offense humming along with terrific ball-movement and who defends at an extremely high level. That’s a worthwhile first round pick, in my view. It’ll be interesting, though, to see how Haliburton’s role develops next season with Nick Weiler-Babb and Marial Shayok certainly departing, in addition to Lindell Wigginton and Talen Horton-Tucker potentially departing.
