Tyrese Haliburton: Basketball’s Next Big Mystery or Hidden Superstar?
So how do we quantify features like that? Haliburton was second in the NBA in touches this season (per NBA.com). That means he has a great deal of control over what’s happening on offense. So we can look at the team’s offensive rating with and without him on the floor.
When Haliburton was on the floor, the Pacers offense had a 116.8 offensive rating (points per 100 possessions), but without him that number fell to 109.7. For reference, that is a similar shift we see with All-Stars like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (120.7/110.6) of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Giannis Antetounkmpo (117.6/108.0) of the Milwaukee Bucks.
