One of the highlights of the Sacramento Kings’ 2020-21 season was the play of Tyrese Haliburton. The rookie appears to be the steal of the 2020 NBA Draft. General manager Monte McNair and the organization were lucky that 11 other teams passed on the Iowa State, and he fell in their laps at No. 12.
Haliburton finished fourth among all rookies in scoring (13.0), second in assists (5.3) and third among in 3-point percentage out of any rookie who had more than 100 attempts from beyond the arc.
The 21-year-old is among the three finalists for the NBA Rookie of the Year Award.
