Best-case/Worst-case: Tyrese Haliburton

It’s been less than a year since Tyrese Haliburton fell to the Sacramento Kings on draft night, but it’s already safe to say he was the steal of the draft.

Despite having no Summer League experience, it was evident from the first week of play that he was going to be vital to the rotation. Haliburton ended the season having averaged 13.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game and finished third in Rookie of the Year voting.

Notably, his rookie campaign came to an end with a scary injury against the Oklahoma City Thunder on May 2.
