5. Tyrese Haliburton (G – Iowa State)

Strengths:

You won’t find a much safer pick at the point guard position in this year’s NBA Draft. Tyrese Haliburton is a high IQ player with a great understanding of how to play his role. He rarely acts out of character and averaged an effective 15.2 points and 6.5 assists for Iowa State.

Weaknesses:

Haliburton’s star potential isn’t very high. He is a slightly older prospect at 20 years of age and doesn’t seem to have an alpha male mentality. It’s unlikely Haliburton every becomes a high impact player as the leader of a team.

Outlook:

Haliburton can be everything the Golden State Warriors need from a backup point guard. He is an extremely smart passer and a trustworthy defender on the perimeter. Haliburton can easily be a glue guy for the Dubs bench.
