He just needs to avoid Chicago. I know they have new management and a good coach with Billy Donavan, but its the worst organization in the NBA outside of the Knicks and maybe Sacramento.
Tyrese Haliburton Draft Stock Still on the Rise
- Thread starter CyberJJJ
- Start date
Unlike Monte where when he plays next to Murray they become small and not very long, Tyrese could play next to Trae Young without the backcourt being short and lacking length.
Tyrese disrupts passing lanes like no player I've seen at ISU, his defensive potential is probably the biggest untapped area where he could really be great. On offense I think he kind of is where he is and just a question of if/when he gets stronger.
Modern basketball, for the most part, is not about muscle. KD too skinny?
Agree. Bulls media/fans would turn on TH with his ISU background at the first hint of adversity.
I love the culture at ISU in which the former players still pull for guys that they never even played with.
No, KD dominated in college though, Tyrese is about to be a top 10 pick and i dont ever remember him going off and willing the team to victory over top tier talent. Same with THT if you cant take over in college and just be "the man" then i dont see how you can ever be successful in the NBA.
Doesn't that depend on how you define "successful"? There are - what? - maybe 10 players in the category of KD in the world, ones that can take over an NBA game for long-ish stretches. I don't think anyone sees Hali with an upside like that but winning teams need a lot of complementary players. His skills may be over-valued a bit this year compared to other years just because it seems to be a weaker draft class.
It's not Iowa State's fault. It's Chicago's. They freaking suck. All the way to the top. I wish Chicago would leave Iowa State alone.
watching the NBA Draft Preview Special on ESPN and Bobby Marks said in the past 25 years Tyrese was the most impressive draft interview he’s ever been a part of.
Had a Fox (on Fox North) draft show on the other night. They had Tyrese going 8th to the Knicks. 
I wouldn't wish playing for Thibs on my worst enemy.

I actually kind of like the makeup of the Kings. With Fox, Tyrese, Hield, Barnes and Bagley, they have several players that can shoot, drive and move the ball well. Fox needs to continue working on his shot, and they need to upgrade at C. If they can get a solid C in a sign-and-trade deal for Bogdanovic, they could be at least be fun to watch.
Playoffs will be a tough task with the Lakers, Clippers, Nuggets at the top, and upstarts like the Grizzlies, Suns and Mavericks. Add in Portland with Dame and CJ and the Jazz, and the unknown of the Rockets and Warriors and it's going to be hard to find a way into the Top 8.
Playoffs? Don't talk about playoffs. Are you kidding me? I just hope we can win a game . . . .
I saw a note that they want to play small ball, with Barnes at the 4 and Bagley in the middle.
How does Jabari Parker fit? I only saw his name on the roster.
