I asked a simple question of Detroit Pistons fans on Twitter the other day:
As I expected, most chose Tyrese Haliburton. Haliburton is ranked higher on most publicly available draft boards, and more people in America have actually seen him play a live game of basketball (Pistons fans, in particular, probably saw his 25/9/5 performance against the Michigan Wolverines in the Battle 4 Atlantis). But I thought the explanations we got for the choices were interesting.
People chose Haliburton because he was the safer option:
Absolutely loved Hampton coming out of HS, but I chose Halliburton as a ‘safer’ pick I think can still be the play making PG we need.
