Here is an interview with Tyrese on Big 12 Digial where he discusses his Stay-at-Home experience, and rehab for his rist prior to the NBA draft:
Tyrese Haliburton - Big 12 Prospects
Tyrese Haliburton - Big 12 Prospects
Lonzo Ball averaged 14.6 pts, on 55% shooting and 41.2% from 3 his only year at UCLA.
Haliburton averaged 15.2 on 50.9% shooting and 42.6% from 3 this past season.
Ball is a pretty good comparison. Similar body type, athleticism and playing style.
I have read in several places that NBA teams view free throw percentage as a better indicator of shooting ability because it doesn’t have all of the statistical noise (defense, spacing, assists, etc) of in-game shooting. Ball shot 67.3% on 2.7 attempts/game vs. 77.5% career for Tyrese (82.2% last year on 2 attempts/game). Lonzo isn’t an unreasonable comp, but especially after re-working his shot last summer, Tyrese projects as a much better shooter.
all the best teams in the nba have good solid players who buy into their role. Tyrese can certainly do that for somebody. Players having to change their mentality and buy into being a role player when they show potential and are highly rated/regarded young is tough, which is why there seems to be few and far between in todays game. I think Tyrese's personality and game are set up perfectly for a long career doing exactly that.
Watching the Last Dance doc made me realize one thing, there was a lot of Dudes in the 90s NBA who were solely bought into playing their role to the peak of their ability, and doing anything they could to better the team. Not as prevalent in todays game/bball culture

It was just basically that Tyrese has kind of a youthful excitement around the NBA, which I find charming. Apparently he called up Prohm a few different times to make sure that he had the right time for his interview on ESPN this week.

Just all kinds of good stuff in here on Tyrese.

I don't like the warriors either, but you have to admit that he would be fun to watch on that team. He would have wide open 3 pointers and shooters galore to pass the ball to.
Tyrese would have averaged like 8+ assists a game here if people could hit open shots.
Please take Haliburton, Dubs.
Imagine him alongside Curry and Klay.
