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

It’s no secret Trae Young needs help. The Hawks brought in two wings in the 2019 class, but neither particularly profile as an offensive juggernaut. The ups and downs of Kevin Huerter have created question marks as to if he’s the backcourt mate of the future with Young. Haliburton represents a complementary guard with high IQ and shot-making ability. He fits with what GM Travis Schlenk likes in a backcourt player.
