Haliburton Draft Article From The Athletic

[Aclone]

I haven’t seen it linked here, but this is one of the best articles I’ve read in a long time. Way too much good content to try to spot quote.

It’s a very long and involved piece, and it’s behind a pay wall. Here’s one small sample:

Haliburton was then invited to the Nike Skills Academy. After the camp finished, he got a call from Johnikin, his former grassroots coach who continues to train him. Johnikin asked him how it went and Haliburton told him he was the best point guard there. “That’s not the way Ty usually talks,” Johnikin says. “I called my assistant coach. I said I think Ty’s ready. He said, ‘What you mean?’ I ain’t never heard him talk the way he talked. It was just with his confidence.”

The comments from fans of various NBA teams hoping he falls far enough are almost as good!
