With the combination of his all-seeing vision and knockdown shooting, few players in the NBA manipulate ball screens as frequently as Tyrese Haliburton. In fact, 47.7 percent of his usage comes from the pick-and-roll — a mark topped only by Ja Morant (53.7%), Trae Young (48.7%), and Cade Cunningham (47.9%) among starting-caliber guards. Moreover, although Indiana’s star guard has found some hacks for attacking switches this season, he doesn’t often waste his time spinning his tires against length in isolation; and when he gets a screen, he typically uses it, dribbling off the pick on 85 percent of the middle pick-and-rolls that he finishes with a shot attempt, free throws, or a turnover.
