Recruits stats and Senior performance

Haliburton had a big night earlier this week:

32 pts (11-12 overall, 1-2 from 3, 9-9 FT), 7 rebounds, 5 asts, 3 blks, 1 stl.

Things i've noticed from @NorthHoops (instagram) box scores:
-He's very efficient from the field
-Doesn't take a lot of three pointers
-Very good free throw shoter
-Has come close to double digit steals in a handful of games

Haliburton is lost in the shuffle from a hype standpoint, but when I watch him I see a player who athletic enough to create a bit, long enough to defend, and is an excellent distributor.

Here's his stat line according to www.wissports.net (no idea how accurate it is, but it's comprehensive):
Games: 17
ppg: 21.9
apg: 6.9 A/T: 3.25
rpg: 5.9
spg: 3.8
FG%: 68.3
3PM/3PA: 13/32 3P%: 40.6%
FT%: 84%
bpg: 1.6

Previous year's numbers are messed up (more three point attempts than field goal attempts) so it's hard to gauge what the trend is with three point shooting. One possibility is that having another scorer with D1 interest on the team, and being the primary ball handler, he's just more content with facilitating.

I also like this quote following one of Haliburton's games:

“Just played like the refs were calling it,” said Haliburton, who led North with 21 points. “They were calling it tight, so I was just getting into the lane as much as I could but I was shooting like Shaquille O’Neal at the free throw line tonight.”​

He was a 9/14 from the stripe.

Agree. Every time I watch him play I'm surprised at how fluid he is. I think most people probably underestimate both his athleticism and game IQ. He glides for a dude who's 6'-6" and rail thin.
 
Has anybody measured his wingspan?
I believe it's 7'1". Curious to know his arm length though, since his shoulders are so broad.

Edit after seeing above post: I'm pretty sure this is what I've seen, but I don't remember where, and could be wrong.

Double edit: the post before this one is a joke, I'm just realizing.

It looks 7’1” to me!
 
6'-10", man, 6'-10".

Sorry, I had to go there because bored tonight.

A 6’10” wingspan on a 6’6” guy is average in the NBA which has the lengthiest people in the world. I think THT’s has that at least.
