Tyrese Haliburton: Basketball’s Next Big Mystery or Hidden Superstar?
Short answer: There is more to basketball than just scoring points! Long answer: Those aren’t the stats that do justice to Haliburton’s on-court impact.
Haliburton quarterbacks the elite offense not through volume scoring, but instead with his decision-making and ability to play with pace. He led all NBA guards in the 2024-25 regular season with 5.61 assists per turnover and was tied for fourth with 31 double-doubles.
As we learned from the Seven-Seconds-or-Less Phoenix Suns, the best shots are generated early in the shot clock before the defense can get fully set. Haliburton is a staunch observer of this practice, constantly generating great looks for himself and his teammates before the defense has time to get comfortable.
