But the advanced stats Twitter brigade will surely slay here again. Darling Haliburton vs. another Lavine/DeRozan-type stat-padding no defense loser.
To me Haliburton looks like a player with Brogdon-ish upside. I don´t think he´ll ever be a 20 PPG scoring option, but an overall winning player.
Of course he´s also a PG and MEET Rick Carlisle.
I think Sabonis is closer to become a 25/13/8 player ala Jokic level. Than Haliburton can reach there to +20 ppg. Great point, Sabonis is also really really young. He can play next 10 years for Kings, he is playing with skill and not athletic ability alone.
Haliburton is also great. Difficult to judge this trade. But most likely IMO Kings won this.
