Tyrese Haliburton is an exceptional 24-year-old ball-handler who plays for the Indiana Pacers in the NBA. The Wisconsin native attended Iowa State for his college career before getting drafted 12th overall by the Sacramento Kings in 2020. During the 2021/22 season, the savvy guard swapped to Indianapolis in exchange for Kings Forward Domantas Sabonis via trade.
The guard had a stellar showdown last year, prompting the Pacers to reward him with a substantial much-deserved contract extension this offseason. The Indiana Pacers offered $260 million for five years. Haliburton’s assist number proves how good the guard is at play-making. He is a complete team player who focuses on setting plays for his teammates and leads the scoreboard running rather than scoring heavily by themselves.
Additionally, the Pacers guard has represented the USA's National Team at different levels multiple times. He donned the colors of Team USA in the U19 FIBA World Cup in Greece and the 2023 FIBA World Cup in the Phillippines. Now, in the 2024 Paris Olympics, Haliburton is also a key member of the team which has already reached to the basketball tournament final.
