He's already looked 10x better than Trae did in his first 2 months. Being better than current Trae isn't that hard of a feat.


what?


Trae was historically bad his first few months. You already forget?

Keep this one to yourself. It’ll come out eventually.

He left in the 3rd qtr I believe with a sprained ankle. Still another rough night for him though.

He was always a cold blooded scorer whenever I got to watch him in college, hopefully he has a good career.

Prob a lifetime backup pg, but a good one. I was against the pick but the kid never stops moving on offense, def brings energy off the bench.

20th pick in the draft. Absolute steal. Great hands and motor, very intelligent player and fast learner.


Little early to start throwing out advanced stats but yeah, I was pissed Ainge passed on him. The only thing missing from his game was discipline and a outside shot. For someone with his motor once he dropped outside the lottery he def looked like good value.

He is probably one of the best ball handlers in the league right now. He won’t do it with flash but he can get to his spot because he’s strong, has a handle and is pretty quick. He’s a tough kid, I could see him having a good career because he’s gonna fill whatever role is asked. I liken him to Steve Blake somewhat, though I think he’s got a better all around game

Tyrese Haliburton may be the best rookie in this year's class. That guy plays like he's a ten year vet and seems to make the right play most of the time. I love watching him play.

One thing I that always confused me is why - I guess because he's a winning player - the narrative was always that he has a low ceiling.

I think he's gonna be a star in this league and easily the best player from this draft class.

I'll wait till he attempts more than 10 shots in game before i even think about him on the all-rookie team.

Haliburton has looked really good in the games that I've watched him play in thus far. He's mature beyond his rookie status and looks like a veteran PG out there; making good decisions, taking high quality shots, and making the right passes while taking good care of the ball.

Very impressed with him so far.

That's certainly a take...

His impact on the game goes beyond the box score, he was pivotal to the win tonight against Denver.

I disagree. Pritchard makes the offense run and adds a high intelligent player who makes the team better. In most years I think he makes the all-rookie team but this class for a “bad class” looks really good. Haliburton looks really special, Edwards looks very good also.
