            I'm a little biased against Haliburton simply because he chose to play for Iowa State.  Ever since Fred Hoiberg, Iowa State's offense is chuck friendly and I hate watching it come tourney time.
Anyways Iowa State's offense tends to be friendly to unselfish PGs - see Monte Morris' A/TO ratio.
While I'm not down on Haliburton per se, in highlights it doesn't look to me like he has the handle of an NBA PG.  And tall PGs don't have a great track record, and PG's take time to develop.
Another reason that Haliburton concerns me, is that in terms of strengths, weaknesses, build, and stats - Pat McCaw is one of the most workable comparisons out there.  From McCaw's nbadraft.net profile, "McCaw’s court vision, feel for the game and a natural passing ability allow him to find cutters, throw lobs and be very effective in the pick and roll situation … As a FR when fellow FR teammate Rashad Vaughn went down with a knee injury, McCaw took over the scoring burden and shot 40% from the 3-point line … He has the potential to be a knock down shooter at the next level … Shines in the clutch and wants the ball in end of game situations … In his two years at UNLV, Pat hit a number of big shots when the game was on the line, which shows his competitiveness and will to win … With his size, has the versatility to play multiple positions, PG, SG and SF … Should be an excellent player in a complimentary role."
