3 new PG offers in June, prepping for Haliburton to the NBA.
That's probably a pretty safe bet if he wants to go.

Makes sense, I've already seen him listed as a first rounder in the "way to early" Mocks. That said, I expect Prohm to always emphasize guard play and look to take 2-3 in each class regardless of current numbers.
These mocks suck because they project our guys for the first round so they feel like they have to go and then they aren’t drafted first round. Makes you wonder if THT situation might have went differently if he wasn’t being mocked first round by everyone.

I don't think Haliburton leaves unless he makes some huge strides. I know some people have put him in the early mock drafts as a guy who could go in the first round but I would bet that doesn't last.
I think he stays 3/4 years regardless of anything. Just seems like that type of character/guy.
If a players go to advice is a mock draft I really don't feel sorry for them if they go undrafted or drafted later than expected... Seriously, the whole "so and so got bad advice" excuse is over used.
I don’t think it’s their go to advice but I’m sure it plays a factor a little bit. Lindell wasn’t mocked and he still went for it so it’s not the deciding factor but if you were considering leaving but weren’t quite sure, how could you not go if ESPN/CBS/Yahoo/etc have you projected first round? That has to make the decision a little easier for these guys.
I hope Haliburton plays well enough he is a lottery pick next year.
Yes, playing basketball at Iowa State University rather than in the NBA implies higher character
For Halliburton to go in the 1st round, he'll need to completely redo his shot mechanics. Not that he can't do it but I just don't see him being able to get that outside shot off in the NBA.
He was just selected as one of the twelve best U19 basketball players in the country...I'd say that bodes well for future NBA potential, whenever he decides to declare. And, given the NBA's obvious youth quest, I'd bet on the declaration coming early if he has a great year with ISU.
He does seem to have everything else and, with the good attitude, he certainly could.
Mock drafts are horrible 1 week prior to the draft. How am I supposed to take them seriously a full year out? Other than the top 4-5 players, no one knows anything.
Pretty sure you know what I meant, but decided to be a ****, anyways.
He seems like a guy who genuinely enjoys being at Iowa State and contributing/being a part of the community here. Also, seems like a guy who knows he'll only get 4 years of that, so cherish it as much as you can.

I was going to post this. Mock drafts are BS. It’s that simple. They are for consumers.
