Knix have won other games with very poor 3 point shooting.
The ones I recall:
v. ATL, Knick starters 1-12 on 3's
v. UTA, Knick starters 2-13; game saved by Rivers killing it 5-7
I think Haliburton is pretty smooth and polished, but can develop and round his game. He has a good feel on both ends, a nice 2-way player. TyH can improve his PG play, get more consistent on 3's, learn the League. He's already an above average player and probably his team's best 2-way player. And you're worried about ceiling. (ironically, not a high ceiling was one of the knocks on Knix pix ObiT). Basically on these Knix, TyH could be taking the Reg Bollocks starting spot.
TyH reminds me some of Kerry Kittles but with more ballhandling/passing ability.
Best is TyH seems to be a hardworker, high BB IQ, with good self-awareness.
Is he going to be just a solid starter you can rely on or an all-star? Not that many good 2-way players, let alone rooks. He'd certainly look good on these Knix. Helping Elf and Julius keep the ball moving and offense flowing. Balancing out Quickly in the same manner on the 2nd unit. Versatile player.
