Tyrese Haliburton setting Pacers, Cyclones, and NBA records

[Pat]

Love to see the source. everything I saw including Woj said 26.

My post came off as rude, didn’t it?Apologies, definitely not the intent. I pulled it from Spotrac, which tends to be pretty accurate. All of the initial tweets say $26 million, so I’m guessing someone (an agent?) rounded up. Not a huge deal for someone who is going to end up with over $37mm in career earnings.

I'm surprised that Reggie Miller didn't have some 35 and 10s, but he was more of a shooter back in his day.

I definitely don't think "pass" when I think of Reggie Miller. He had 5 double digit assist games in his career with one game being 34 points/10 assists.

He had Mark Jackson passing, who was very willing to pass.

I follow former Cyclones when they turn professional but admittedly the NBA has my least interest. This proves it, I’ve never heard of Benedict Mathurin. Probably was a beneficiary of TH’s assists.

Mathurin played at Arizona, P12 POTY and second team All American.

Mathurin played at Arizona, P12 POTY and second team All American.

In 2023 we won a bunch of overs to start the season on Mathurin. He wasn’t in the starting rotation , but when the season started his Over/Under points were like 8.5. By time he finally went under it was 14.5 as a guy coming of the bench.

He had 23 tonight on the highest volume.

I've been known to be one of the ones who says "stay and finish your education". When I say I wish they would stay, it's for entirely selfish reasons (I want the Cyclones to win). But I completely understand when they leave.

For Hali, it was pretty clear that he was probably not going to need the fall-back of a degree. For some of these kids, though...it's really bad advice that they are given to leave early. Especially when they're not lottery picks, or even expected to go high in the second round. Some of them don't even make it playing overseas. And if they leave and try to come back later to finish their degrees, it's now on their own dime. Sorry - I can't come up with specific players off the top of my head.

I think the program is now to the point where guys being able to leave early and find success is actually more beneficial to the program. Having guys declare after a year or two shows future recruits we are a viable path. But yes I’m selfish as well and will be disappointed if Milan leaves after the season.

Your post reminds me of the Imelda Marcos quote, "I get so tired listening to one million dollars here, one million dollars there, it's so petty."

Yeah, you're probably right. I'm just a big believer in education. I love seeing the GPA reports, and the players that make the Academic All-Big 12 and All-American teams.

Tyrese Haliburton's 14 games with 20+ points, 10+ assists and 0 turnovers are the most in NBA history since the league began tracking turnovers in 1977-78.

 

[ianoconnor]

He just took the 7th spot in franchise history for assists

Interesting thought here:

Hornacek has his jersey retired by ISU and the Jazz. While Tyrese probably won't get his jersey retired at ISU, has an Olympic banner and at this rate will get his jersey retired by the Pacers.

Can't be too many Clones honored collegiately and professionally like that.
