Just watched some Halliburton highlights. I see why he's rising. His detractors will look at his lonzo shot but he's so much quicker/faster than lonzo. He can get in the lane and that's really the problem with Lonzo.
His pace is too quick for the college game. Very nice defensive potential as well.
Edit: his playstyle reminds me of DeAaron Fox.

His speed and athleticism is tailor made for the NBA. He reminds me a bit of SGA but less smooth and a little more aggressive in like a Westbrook sort of way but not out of control. Very unique player that has a chance to be very good in the pros imo
If he can keep knocking down that jumper then oof

Haliburton really impresses me.
His shot though. It goes in and yet I don’t know how

He averages 6 three point attempts per game and isn't shy about launching them from deep or looking to attack and score. He also takes 12 FG attempts per game so he's not your typical pass first PG. There is a great balance to his game.
The efficiency is what's crazy to me
6 three point attempts per at near 42% clip
52% from the field overall and 75% from the FT line
I could see him being a 18-20 PPG / 8 APG / 8 RPG type of guard in the league.

He's actually remarkably similar to SGA statistically. Pretty much has him beat in all basic stats, and is much more efficient to boot. Just launches a ton more threes

Only major difference in SGA's favor is the massive gap in FT rate. He's not even that much older than SGA was either. So the question is, how high would you take an SGA with a better jumper?

Haliburton is real. Remember people hated SGA’s release 2 years ago. People hated SGA’s lack of explosion. Haliburton is real. Prob my fav prospect this year.

He's very nice. But I've already got one, you see!
I dunno what I'm gonna do with Bowlrips' pick...

Duel wield guards like the thunder are doing. It’s really fun

lonzos shot was beyond whack coming out of college. He swung his elbows out in a circle, the ball was never centered, and he only felt comfortable shooting when there was no distractions from his arms moving near his head.
Halliburton has amazing amount of air under his ball. He's confident and consistent.
he is a little off centered, and shoots the ball a little low. But the numbers don't lie after 2 seasons. He isn't going to come into the NBA and start sucking. If his %s go down its because hes taking tougher contested shots against bigger guys.
The one interesting thing about Halliburton is I'd love to know what his shooting%s are
on
1- step shooting
vs
spotting up
because on film he looks a lot more comfortable with the 1 step in shooting. I remember Barrett (and most players) are the exact opposite. They prefer the squared up shot. Haliburton likes that rhythm step and shoot because he can get his body and right arm perfectly aligned since he shoots with his right arm off to the side.
Lamelo shoots from his **** chin, and he will have the exact same problems as Lonzo did. he will suck for 2+ years.
