We're nearing the midway point of the season, and the Indiana Pacers are looking bound for a top pick in this coming summer's draft. If they end up being lucky enough to draft AJ Dybantsa, they're going to be able to offer him the type of ideal scenario that no other NBA team can, and the key reason being Tyrese Haliburton.
As Pacers fans are well aware, Haliburton represents a dying breed in today's NBA: a pass-first point guard archetype. This is the ideal type of player to pair with an athletic scoring wing. In the scenario Indiana ends up drafting Dybantsa, Tyrese is going to be able to get AJ an extra eight to 10 points every single night simply by knowing when and where to get him the ball in the spots he's most comfortable in.
