What makes Haliburton’s production so interesting is that he was just the 12th pick in the draft," writes former Vice President of Basketball Operations for the Memphis Grizzlies.

"Haliburton averaged just 15.2 points per game in his sophomore year at Iowa State...He’s an example of talent that shows itself more in the secondary categories than the scoring stats, as he filled the box score with assists, rebounds, steals and high-percentage shooting."

In 51 games this season, Haliburton is averaging 12.6 points on 47 percent shooting from the field, 41 percent from deep and 84 percent from the free throw line.
