Haliburton Breaks Heft's Assist Record

[LoyalFawker]

Just amazing that he's only a freshman and doing things like this. 17 assists is amazing!

I love how the picture on cyclones.com is of him stuffing some fool. You have to appreciate the irony of the assist record and headline coupled with that picture.

Kid is the steal of this class. This will probably end up being the best class in Iowa State history. Talen is as advertised, Conditt is ahead of schedule, Griffin looks like he’s coming around after being injured and Haliburton is a stud.

took him 10 games to set a school record.

Anyone know if he on a special diet to bulk up? He should be spending as much time in the weight room as he spends in the gym.

But Hines thinks it crazy to start him over NWB

Yeah, I think the only problem (if you can call it that) is that we won't get THT and Haliburton for 4 years. I would say THT stays for 2, Haliburton for 3, although it wouldn't totally surprise me if he left next year also.

Hines doesn’t know ****.

I remember when Fred said about Monte "I can't keep him off the floor."
Haliburton has that same feel about him.
Everything runs smoother with him on the floor. Love his joy for the game!

Why? He’s not a football or post player. He can play with his frame.

 

[Cycsk]

In the post-game press conference, he said that he told Heft this week that he would break the record.

It's, um, the, uh, heroball version of hogging the assists.
Yeah, that works.

THT. well, maybe. He is very good around the basket, but he also needs to have a much better outside shot and learn to play within himself at times. Pretty amazing for a freshman, but still has a ways to go. Haliburton, love the kid, but not sure he will be strong enough to play pro ever, but we will see. His odd release on his shot will not help him a lot either.

Not that I don't like the guys, they are both going to be great college players. Just a long leap from college to the pros.

CBS has Nick averaging 4.3 assists. Is that wrong?

 

[CyCloned]

In the post-game press conference, he said that he told Heft this week that he would break the record.

The funny thing was you could just see him passing up open looks or driving to the basket and then throwing the little dump off pass for the layup instead of taking the shot. Anyone that can make that happen on the fly is one heck of a basketball player. And he was smiling the whole time.

No it’s right. So my stat above it wrong. I dont know what i was looking at.

G.O.A.T

 

[CloneGuy8]

He's going to be a good one. Who am I kidding? He's already a good one

 

[mharder]

Great kid and very easy to root for.
