Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Iowa State. Tyrese Haliburton. 84. 6-foot-5 | G. 12. player

The Sacramento Kings’ second unit lacks shot-making so bad that they thought benching Buddy Hield was a good idea. With Bogdan Bogdanovic’s future with the team murky, Haliburton would provide some creation and shot-making ability for Sacramento’s second unit initially. It’s a question whether he develops into something more than that, but at this point in this draft, a solid sixth man would provide a great value. As a combo guard with size, he could presumably play next to either De’Aaron Fox or Hield, making the fit pretty good on paper.
