Tyrese Haliburton was just getting to the tough part of the conference schedule during his sophomore season, then he had to shut things down.
A fractured left wrist ended his season a few weeks before the pandemic did, and with the success he showed, it was an easy decision to head to the NBA Draft, where he’s projected to be a top-10 pick.
The Pistons, who have the seventh pick, appear to be a good match, having a big need at point guard and Haliburton, at 6-foot-5, one of the best all-around fits with his shooting ability, defense and acuity in the pick-and-roll.
