I wonder if Haliburton has some character issues to drop out of the top-10?

He reminds me of Draymond Green. Maybe without the three pointer. He would be our do the ugly things guy.

Low ceiling, high floor. The shot blocking is nice on paper but I think he is going to be a defensive liability at the 4 in the NBA. The good shooting stats across the board and solid rebounding are a bright spot.

Spurs draft Vassell. So Haliburton keeps sliding.

He is what we need at PF - shot blocker rebounder!
His shot blocking won’t translate to nba. He’s not a leaper. Not a great athlete. Won’t be a good post defender either because he’s all upper body. Check out his lack of base and chopstick legs.

I think he’ll stick in the nba. But he’ll be just a bench guy.

I don't mind it. Anybody but Bane would have gotten a "B" grade for me, anyway. I like Smith to fill a role.

But you have to wonder why Haliburton is tumbling.

I’m surprised they went raw upside. I don’t hate the pick but he must’ve killed it shooting in the workouts.

Didn't Toppin have the same slight frame critique?

He actually reminds me a little of Horace Grant. Maybe it's just the googles.

He shoots the 3 decent and his advanced stats are better than I thought.

He's ok - but Haliburton is much better, and Jalen Smith would have been available at least 5 picks later, only an idiot would not trade down before selecting him.


And if no one want to trade up? If you really wanted him there’s not a whole Lotta difference between 10 and 15 if no one’s willing to give you anything for that pick

I think you just summarized my thoughts. If he can shoot and rebound, that’s what he’ll hang his hat on. I think he’s going to be a terrible defender at the 4-5.

Haliburton goes to Kings. Fox and Haliburton should play well togeher.
