Myles Turner on Tyrese Haliburton: He’s definitely helped transcend my career, to say the least. I think the biggest thing with Tyrese is that he wants to pass more than he wants to score. When you think of a point guard, you’d think that would be the epitome of that, but in a league where scoring is paramount, it’s a rarity when you have guys like Tyrese who embrace that role of coming in and being a creator but can also step up when you need him. I think the sky’s the limit for him. The past two or three years since he’s been here, his ascension has been incredible. He’s been able to really help a franchise that was at its lowest and take it to new heights. When it comes to the debate of the best point guards, obviously I’m biased, but if you really sit there and break down his game and look at the numbers, he’s leading a historical offense. We’re one of the best offenses in NBA history. We just set a crazy percentage shooting from the field in Game 7. He’s leading all of that, and it’s not by accident. I think Tyrese is very special. He’s someone who can create not only for himself but for others. It’s really helped bring out the best in me. -via HoopsHype / May 21, 2024
