If a team can miss the playoffs for 15 consecutive years, it must be a management problem.
Looking at how many draft picks the Kings have wasted over the years, how many potential stocks they have missed, and how many garbage contracts they have issued, it is not difficult to understand why they sent Terres Halliburton away.
After the trade, Sa City fans were enraged enraged, and they conquered their own team's official website and social media accounts, because in this team, Halliburton is the only player who can make Kings fans see hope and feel relieved.
More than ten years, Halliburton is the first rookie to take the initiative to show favor to the Kings, do not think that he is coveting the No. 12 pick in the hands of the Kings, you know that in the 3 months before the start of the draft, Harry Burton's predicted pick once appeared in the 5th position, in order to make himself fall smoothly to the 12th place, he did not toss less, not only refused the trial invitation of other teams, but also gave the King a separate injury report.
Why did Halliburton do this?
Smart people like to control their own destiny, so does Halliburton, when he decided to accept a scholarship from Iowa State University, he had already planned his future, in order not to be swayed by the draft, Halliburton can only use this way to become passive to active, as for why Sacramento, perhaps Halliburton feels that the staffing here, as well as the coaching team will be more suitable for him.
Sure enough, in the Kings' year and a half, Halliburton not only perfectly integrated into the team, but also seamlessly connected to the NBA, played a nearly fantastic start, this season, he is a transformation, leading the team in 3 statistics, respectively, 7.4 assists per game, 1.7 steals per game, and 41.9% of three-point shooting, it is worth mentioning that even if put in the league, Harry burton's 3 statistics can be ranked in the top ten, is the only player in the league to do this, more accurately, It is the only post-00s who can do this.
At that time, It seemed that Halliburton's choice of the king was indeed a win-win situation, but there must be a gap in the hundred, and Halliburton, who calculated many things, did not expect that the king would actually trade himself.
Truth be told, it's not just fans, experts, executives from many teams in the NBA who are also shocked by the Kings' trade with Halliburton.
At this stage, it can be exchanged for an all-star center with 2 role players, and the King has picked up a big bargain, but the problem is that Halliburton is only 21 years old, and if he is given 1-2 years, the achievement may be higher than that of Sass.
Don't say that the talent is average, there is no hard solution ability, the first step is slow, the NBA does not have a perfect player, and Halliburton is not an offensive point guard based on scoring, he is a team player, a traditional guard who is the first choice to pass the ball, this type of player, although it is difficult to be alone, but if the passing, defense, and three-point efficiency are at the top, it is also a very terrifying existence, such as Ronzo Ball, which is the perfect championship puzzle; and Kyle Lowry, even at the age of 36, He can still help the Heat achieve the first place in the East; further ahead, FMVP Changsi Billups in 2004, his ability to lead the team is the same as Paul.'s.
In my opinion, Halliburton's ceiling is Billups.
The first is the strong passing ability, in the case of only 17.8% of the use rate, the assist rate can reach 31.8%, is the only 2 in the league, the use rate is less than 20%, the assist rate can exceed 30% of the player, the other is Lowry, not only excellent organizational ability, Halliburton also rarely makes mistakes, the turnover rate is only 10.6%, 3.2 assists to error ratio, can rank in the league's top 20;
Then there is the high efficiency of scoring, whether it is the end of the basket (73.2%), or the mid-range shooting (44.7%), or outside the three-point line (41.9%), Halibalton's shooting rate, all far ahead of the league average, it is worth mentioning that Haliburton's shooting, not all from teammate assists, he actually has a certain ability to score consecutively, during the time of Fox's injury, Halibalton has played 20+ consecutive games, and at the end of last month, he also scored 38 points on the 76ers;
The second is defense, Halliburton has a high ball quotient and strong anticipation ability, although his body is slightly thin, he cannot prevent the impact of many opponents on the inside, but in the outside defense, he has done a good job, and can limit the opponent's shooting rate from 35.3% to 33.9%.
Alas, the king waited to regret it, believing that it would not be long before the Walkers could show a new Halliburton, a stronger Halliburton, like the outside world.
