Tbh, since before the draft went down, I've always thought Haliburton was high floor, but also high ceiling. He might never realize his potential as a star, and his shot needs a bit of fixing, but his ceiling isn't low at all, unlike Clarke's. That elite vision, court awareness, passing, and IQ will always allow him to grow his game - he's a bit undersized is the knack on him, but the other knock (his speed on the first step) looked fine to me from what I saw pre-draft, and yesterday. We'll see in the playoffs I guess (well, considering the Kings' drought, we might have to wait for a while to see...), but I'd say his ceiling is positively above Clarke's, who'll likely always be a dependent role player.
Hurts to say, and way, way too early, I know - but I don't see Vassell being the better player than Haliburton when it's all said and done. Here's to him proving me wrong.
