Haliburton a 1st Rounder in latest CBS Mock

Has him going #25 to the Rockets. Author's write-up:

Houston needs to invest in a young point guard of the future, and Haliburton is a perfect fit on the Rockets, where James Harden primarily dominates the ball, for this reason: He was in the 91st percentile as spot-up shooter and rated in the 95th percentile in transition opportunitie as a freshman last season. His game should translate well to the NBA -- and particularly to a fit like Houston.

So were THT and Wiggs at one point.

I love Haliburton but there's so much unknown. Things like this are pointless, simplistic prognostication that shouldn't be consumed as anything but journalistic diarrhea to fill offseason silence.

I think he’s gone after next year. He’s just too ******* smart.

I think he’s gone after next year. He’s just too ******* smart.

I do not think he either dislikes Prohm, being a college student, not being an NBA player already, and not playing basketball for a paycheck like LW and THT might have. Quite the opposite -- he seems to enjoy all of those things greatly. I want him to go when he is ready and at his high tide for his professional and draft stock, but I do not think that Tyrese will go off half-cocked into the late second-round or undrafted and into a more uncertain future like that.

I hope he has a killer year next year and ends up in the lottery.

As a distributor for his size he's fantastic, and as the article alluded to, his three-point shooting is really good. NBA Scouts' biggest concern has to be his ability to create his own shot, which he didn't do much of last year. Hopefully that's where his priorities are this offseason.

One day he will be done. One day.

I for one welcome our new beat writer Pandy Reterson.

I think it would be more subtle - something like:

"Coach, you ran off 3 important players last year and you're now running out Tyrese. Why would anyone want to play basketball for ISU"...

Or words to that affect...

Great. Thanks for the reminder!

He's accurate from 3, but his shot is slow and easy to block. Part of the reason he's so scared to even take a shot.

Agree, but unfortunately some players like THT believe the press clippings and hero ball ensues. Hopefully, Tyrese handles it a little better and continues his great team ball.

Tyrese seems to have a good head on his shoulders, so I'm not too worried about him.

 

[awd4cy]

His shooting form has to change a lot to make it in the NBA.

Doesn't have a single assist yet this season.......

There is a chance that he can completely change his shot, but there is no way that a shot like that makes it into the NBA.
