The NBA’s assists leader is transforming Indiana’s style, culture, and future—one hit-ahead outlet pass at a time. Is it enough to attract other stars to the small-market Pacers? "They know that I can help bring people here," Haliburton says, "not only with who I am as a basketball player, but who I am as a person."
I own a Devin Vassell jersey and love the guy, but man, it’s hard not to imagine Wembanyama getting passes from Hali instead of Jeremy Sochan.
I think the Spurs probably miss out on Wemby in the first place if they had drafted Haliburton, but it still hurts a little.
