Tyrese Haliburton is a profile that interests the Knicks.
Haliburton is known for filling the box score, averaging 15.2 points, 6.5 assists, 5.9 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 0.7 blocks per game last season. Adding to his 41.9 percent three-point shot, there’s not much the guard can’t do on a basketball court.
The 6’5 “player has a great feel for the game and can carry the kind of intangibles the Knicks currently lack.
The fit with New York is also perfect with his ability to play both guard posts.
It would be great if he ended up as a command guard alongside Barrett in the backcourt for years. However, the team could still add another point guard as well, pushing Haliburton to 2 and Barrett to 3.
A wingspan of 6’7½ “should allow him to defend players in multiple places, giving the guard all the tools necessary to be a quality contributor to the next level.
