A number of data leagues first, the league gave birth to a new "Warriors", the star of the house is similar to Curry
It's time for the NBA to change its dynasty, and many young people have risen to become the backbone of the league, and when you look at the top 20 points per game rankings this season, you will find that there are many young people who occupy the list. There is even some young people under the age of 25.
Of course, with the rise of more and more young stars, their team's current record has also improved. Some teams that have been on the slump for a long time have also begun to slowly improve their records in recent seasons and enter the ranks of competing for the playoffs. For example, the Thunder, Rockets, Timberwolves and so on in recent years. There is also a team in the East that has been very strong this year, and they currently sit in third place in the East, and they have a good chance of making the playoffs this year after not making the playoffs for many years. That team is the Pacers in the East.
The Pacers have ranked first in the league in a number of stats this season. They are averaging the league's most points per game, averaging 126 points per game. He also averaged most assists per game in the league, averaging a whopping 30.7 assists per game. Offensive efficiency ranks first in the league. They also rank among the top in the league in a number of stats, with their second-highest shooting percentage, second-highest three-point percentage, and third-highest three-point shooting percentage.
The Pacers' offensive stats this year are particularly similar to those of the Warriors at their peak, especially in terms of assists per game and points per game and three-pointers. It looks like the Pacers are a bit of a replica of the "Warriors." Because they also have two very accurate players in their squad, they are Haliburton and Hield. Haliburton has shot 41 percent from three-point range this season, and Hield has been a top-tier shooter with a career three-point shooting rate of over 40 percent. So if the two of them go to partner in the backcourt, it will be Curry and Thompson of the Warriors.
And the reason why the Pacers can make such rapid progress is inseparable from the growth of Haliburton. Haley Burton is only 23 years old, but he is already averaging 23.8 points and 12.2 assists per game this season. He ranks first in the league in assists. When you go and look at Halle Burton's stats, you'll see that he's definitely a superstar embryo. He is shooting 51.7 percent from the field, 40.9 percent from three-point range and 94.9 percent from the free-throw line. At the moment he is in the 180 club. His averages are too much like Curry's.
Of course, Haliburton and Curry's playing styles are completely different, and Curry's three-point shooting ability is not something he can compare. But it is undeniable that Haliburton is also very capable of scoring, and his scoring is also very comprehensive, and even he is better than Curry in terms of tandem balls. In addition, his average three-point shooting per game is not low, and he can make at least three three-pointers per game. He is only 23 years old, and there is still a lot of room for growth in the future. For now, at least, he can book a spot on a superstar.
