Yup. Count me in the It's-not-who-starts-it's-who-finishes-crowd. And Ty has been getting all the finishing minutes of late in competitive games. And know who else balls out when the game is close down the stretch? Richaun Holmes. My goodness. That young man becomes a damn All-Star when the game's tight late in the 4th. Fox/Ty/HB/Holmes + 1 = Yer Closers.
Idk how many times I drove past In N Out and seen a huge line going down the street. And then I go down to Wayback burger and get better food with no line at all lol. Not a local shop but still smaller and less known in the area. My go to whenever I’m in Folsom, I’m in a mood for that cheesy burger now typing this.
Raps playing the pass. Hali didn’t have that in college and he didn’t show that till now. The young man is growing.
We got ourselves a cornerstone, who is going to be even more of a beast when he puts on some muscle and adds to his game (like that hesi). Also, beyond his shot, I think Hali’s athleticism and length were underrated by scouts/other teams. Dude plays big.

What’s Halliburton’s best comparison as an NBA player? Good at everything basically. His elite skills seems to be vision and anticipation - jumping passing lanes on D, no look passes on offense which also set up some great hesitation moves and ball fakes to break down defenders. Decent size and strength that will probably improve. Seems to be able to score from anywhere and is a good shooter. Able to run the offense and plays very well sharing duties when he’s on the floor with Fox. The only thing we haven’t seen yet from him is doing this in major minutes as a starter with much higher usage and volume. And smart as hell, very serious quick learning high character guy. Can’t think of anyone to really compare that to exactly
Completely agree on the turnovers, but I think he'll correct it. Teams adjusted to his passing ability and started anticipating his passes better, not he needs to adjust in response. He has shown the ability to do it, but still can do it with more consistency.
Interested in everyone's thoughts, but I think he would solve a lot of those problems by keeping his dribble alive longer and varying his stride and pace. He plays downhill so well, but when he's blasting towards the basket and leaves his feet he's forced to pass or shoot, obviously. Now that teams have learned that, it's resulting in more turnovers and questionable shot selection. But if he varies his strides and pace so that on his way towards the basket those shorter strides can give him a bit more time to read the defense before having to make a decision. That hesitation and dunk was a beautiful example. I'd also like to see him be more willing to do the Nash-esque dribbling completely through the lane and bringing it back out to reset with the defense out of position.
And all this is stuff he can do with just adjusting the use of skills he already possesses.
Add in something like a pull up mid range jumper, and my goodness.
