Reminds me of Livingston (post injury)
I haven't watched full games yet only youtube breakdowns and this guy is too damn skinny. Vassell is wiry, but Haliburton hyper twiggy.
Reminds me of Livingston (post injury)
being twiggy as a pg isnt such a problem. Curry, trae, morant, they all are skinny as but still dominant. Hali has a lots of skills to be also so productive as guys above. Lack of weights becomes a serious problem for a SF/PF/C. They need to have muscles and strenght.
Alright, basically from what I see from watching this guy a little bit is this:
Wow. I'm buying in. This player is legit and blows all the other guards in this draft out of the water (aside from maybe Kira). Derrick White comparison is on point. He reads ball screens just like Derrick. He will go left and right and then left. He makes absolutely great reads. His vision is better than Derrick. I don't like his shot, but that can be better. When he takes them, it's not out of rhythm, which is important. But I'm very, very impressed by his basketball IQ.
Prelim player comparison: Derrick White with better vision/ point guard instincts
His shot is ugly AF, but his frikkin range is unlimited. He easily launches from 30. You have to honor it,which sets up his penetration game.
Yeah, that basketball IQ is what would make him such a good fit. If we're being honest, this team has a really short supply of basketball IQ as it stands. Haliburton would be a big boost in that regard. Specifically, you can put him next to Dejounte and he'd help balance out his weaknesses.
Agree. Terrible form but two straight years of over 41% with evidence of extreme range? I think he'll be fine shooting the ball. Probably won't be a high volume shooter but he should be a ~36-38% three-point shooter pretty quickly.
Yo, what the is that pass at 4:38!?
This dude is toying with defenses. His fake outs are top notch.
Yup, I'm leaning towards star on this one.
Looking the defender off in midair, jesus. That's the kind of thing almost nobody should try.
I would honestly be okay with trading up in the draft if we're trying to get this guy - even without my Iowa State bias.
i wish we had him instead of murray
This is the first player I can confidently say has a strong chance of attaining s om...and I've watched a load of players. This is so ironic because I was so against drafting another guard.
But if he's there at #11, it's a no brainer. It's SHOWTIME whenever he's on the court. It would make watching the Spurs super fun again. it, run a 3 guard line-up if you have to.
Halliburton/ White/ Q
Keldon/ Mills
DeMar/ Lonnie
Lyles/ Reed/ Samanic
Aldridge/ Poetl
The speed at which he does the move at 0:20. So effortless.
A gym rat with potential to improve. Or a player with a high BBIQ who can hold his own on defense. Those are my broad criterion for who to draft. Halliburton might be both. But I think his combine numbers would have to be bad for him to drop to us. But after watching these clips, which are not just athletic highlights, I am sold on this guy.
lol, where's your namesake in that lineup? Kinda hard to ignore somone that just received a 60 million extension from the Spurs. Murray's my least favorite of all our youngsters but the front office probably thinks differently considering how much money they have invested in him
Disowning him and changing my username to Halliburton lmao
Intriguing player. He’d be a great fit in SA.
Doubt he drops to 11, but, would love it if he did.
Might go to Golden State, he’d fit there quite well, too.
How about Cheney?
I think Haliburton has some bust potential if you're counting on him to be a full-time point guard. His ball-handling is a bit stiff, his on-ball defense is susceptible to strength and his lack of blow-by speed would be an issue as a full-time point guard. But pair him with White or Murray and he'd be fine. I know SpursTalk is low on Murray for the minute but Murray and Haliburton next to each other would be fun to watch. Super fast paced on offense and Murray hounding the ball with Haliburton blowing up passing lanes on defense. Add in the genius level decisions that would be made when White and Haliburton are on the court ... and he's an easy pick at 11.
IMO, the ultimate no-brainer picks at 11 are Toppin, Okongwu and Haliburton.
Not sure I understand the joke...
On a serious note, would you allow me a user name change if I wanted?
Usernames usually aren't changeable but remind me after the draft and we'll change it to Jalen, Tyrese, Obi, LaMelo or whatever
Just a suggestion, but don’t use a player name. You’ll only be asking again in a year or two.
Hoping one day we find another Tim, Tony, Duncan -loyal type player. It's a gamble... White might be that lifelong career Spur.
Things usually take a while on here.. I'm still pinked from 5+ years ago.

Yeah he fits Murray more than White. Haliburton won't score much on-ball, form is a set shot not effective in pull ups, not a downhill player, not much frame to add strength to be an effective finisher at the rim.

"Country boy who is always smiling"....hmm sounds like somebody we know.
His father made him watch Magic Johnson according to the article. No wonder he has all that swag.
