Why Halliburton was not selected until the twelfth pick in 20 years

In 2020, Halliburton, who was then a sophomore at Iowa State, averaged 15 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2.5 steals per game.

With such a performance, he should have been selected in the top three picks in that draft. But his draft pick fell all the way and was eventually picked by the Kings with the 12th pick. Even Kings General Manager Mont McNair couldn't believe that Tyres would fall into their hands.

Interview content: Yes. We are really glad that Tyres fell into our hands. Well, you know, I think like you said, he has an incredible talent on both ends of the offense. He is a very good passer, an excellent shooter. He can complete offensive rebounds. He really has a versatile set of skills in that, and then on defense, I think he can defend multiple positions.

Although the King praised his ability, he eventually traded him to the Pacers in less than two years and got Sa. Not only that, the King also paid the best three-pointer in the team at that time in that deal.

Three years later, Halliburton has been a two-time All-Star and Olympic gold medalist. He is one of the few players including Magic Johnson, Trae Young, Stockton, etc. to earn at least nine assists in at least three or more seasons. So what is the reason or whose mistake made Harry fall to the twelfth pick

Let's look back at the 2020 draft and score the eleven teams ahead of the Kings

Minnesota Timberwolves selected Anthony Edwards of the University of Georgia's No. 1 pick in the 2020 NBA draft.

The Timberwolves used the No. 1 pick to pick Anthony Edwards and the guard from the University of Georgia averaged 19 points, five rebounds and three assists that year. If that wasn't enough, he was also named SEC second team and SEC Rookie of the Year.

Edwards is now a three-time All-Star, averaging more than 25 points in the past three seasons and leading the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years. With his wonderful dunks, precise shooting and resilience on the court, people generally believe that he is the new face of the league's future.

We compare Halliburton and Edwards and will find that their achievements are very similar, but in terms of performance and potential, I think there is no problem with Edwards being ahead of Halliburton, and I have a score of A for this Timberwolves this time.

Golden State Warriors selected James Wiseman from Memphis at the second pick in the 2020 NBA Draft with the second pick. Wiseman graduated from high school and was the number one high school student in the United States, then decided to go to the University of Memphis, where legendary player Penny Hardaway coached, but unfortunately, Wiseman's college career was not going well. He was investigated by the NCAA for Hardaway providing financial assistance to his family.

This led to Wiseman's decision to leave Memphis University after only three games at college to focus on the NBA draft. The Warriors had high expectations for him when they selected him with the second pick. But somehow things got worse. In the second year after Wiseman entered the league, the Warriors delegated him to the Development League. This undoubtedly destroyed his only remaining confidence in the game, and he was later traded to the Pistons as a substitute for Durham and Stewart and could only make it on the field at garbage time. Since the pistons weren't suitable for Wiseman, he decided to head to the Pacers. But in the first game, he suffered a tear of his left Achilles tendon, and he was traded to the Raptors again and was later sacked.

Now, Halliburton, who is 6-foot-5, has excellent passes and defense, is very suitable for Curry. The Warriors were definitely the team with the biggest mistakes in the draft that year, and my rating was F.

Charlotte Hornets selected the third pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. Lamelo Ball from California did not go through college, but went to the Australian League. In most years, the three goals were directly ranked No. 1. He averaged 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists per game in the rookie season, and was selected as the Rookie of the Year, proving his ability.

I know many people think that the Hornets are right to choose three goals, but in my opinion, Halliburton is definitely better than three goals, three goals have missed almost 200 games in these five years, and Halliburton has played more than 55 games per season, which shows that he is in better health. At the same time, Halliburton is a better passer, he can make his teammates better, and he is also a better leader. These are things that three balls cannot do.

Therefore, for choosing three balls, I can only give C a rating.

Chicago Bulls selected Patrick Williams from Florida State with the fourth overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.

Parway is a short power forward who is 6-foot-7. He played for Florida State University with Wassel, the 11th overall pick. As the team's sixth man, Paway averaged 9 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block per game.

Although Paway is considered the best 3D forward in the Bulls five years later, I still can't understand why the Bulls didn't choose Halliburton in the fourth pick, and Dunn was no longer their point guard that year, and they got Lonzo Ball through a trade the following year. So they urgently needed a point guard at the time. So I scored the Bulls' draft that year as C.

The Cleveland Cavaliers selected Auburn's Isaac Okoro

Okoro, a 6-foot-5 small forward, averaged 13 points, four rebounds and two assists that year. He is a defensive expert and is known for his 3D attributes, so he was selected by the Cavaliers. He is often responsible for defending the opponent's team's scoring champion and is considered the team's best outside defender. But over the next five years, Ocorro went through a pretty tough time. He lost his starting position due to a shoulder injury. In addition, the Cavaliers also traded Hunter for players who are the same attributes as him and are better than him, and also signed Struz, which to some extent affected his playing time.

If they choose Halliburton, he can complement Garland, a scoring point guard and Halliburton is a 6-foot-5 defensive player who knows how to get players open in their favorite positions. With such a backcourt, the Cavaliers' offensive tactics will become diverse. So the Knight was rated as D.

The Atlanta Hawks selected Oneca Okonggu from USC with the sixth overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, an 6-foot-9 center who played very well in college, averaging 16 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks per game, and he repeatedly knocked off opponents one-on-one in the game, and in his first few years in the NBA, he was one of the Hawks' best assisting players.

But he is just Capela's substitute, and the Hawks only need him to provide energy when he comes on the bench, but since last season, he exploded, averaging 28 minutes per game, scoring 13 points and 9 rebounds. Although he looks pretty good now, it would be more reasonable if the Hawks chose Halliburton.

Halliburton is a core organization and Trae Young has proven several times that he can score without the ball. These two players are very good at finding open shots for teammates, thus creating dynamic and exciting offenses. With the three defensive 3D wings they have and a pick-and-roll offense with Capela, this team could be special.

So my rating for the Eagle is C-. The Detroit Pistons picked Killian Hayes from Lakeland, Florida with the seventh overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the biggest mistake in the 2020 draft, and every time I watched him play, I wanted to watch a girl without shaving legs. Apart from playing only 26 games with the rookie season due to a hip injury, he has only one season of double-digit score per game in four years with the Pistons. If it weren't for him, the Pistons' draft that year was a success, they also picked Stewart after Hayes and got Sadiq Bay through the trade.

So what I'm saying about the Pistons is F

The New York Knicks picked Obi Toppin from Dayton at the eighth pick in the 2020 NBA Draft as a 6-foot-9 dunk genius, Toppin was originally a replacement for Randall. But after Randall played value, the Knicks lost interest in cultivating Topin. He was eventually traded to the Pacers, where he played an excellent backup role.

So, would the Knicks like players like Halliburton at that time? That year the Knicks ranked second last in the assists list and also performed poorly in defensive backs. Halliburton scored about 10 assists per game, and he was sure to help the Knicks at the time.

So what I'm saying to the Knicks is C+

The Washington Wizards picked Deni Avdia from Tel Aviv, Israel, with the ninth pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. Avdia was already a professional player before joining the NBA. He won the MVP in the Israeli League and led the team to three championships. Avdia is a 6-foot-9 wing player with defender skills. His Wizards career looks like a role player, but after trading to the Trail Blazers, he looks like a player who can build a team around him, averaging 17 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists this season.

From the current perspective, choosing Avdia in the ninth pick seems like a good choice, but I would like to know if the Wizards could get better with Westbrook if he chose Halliburton. Halliburton can enter the starter as a three-pointer and defensive back. Anyway, if you give him two years, he will become an All-Star.

So what I'm saying to the Wizards is that B

The Phoenix Suns picked Jaylen Smith from the University of Maryland at the 10th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. Jaylen was a 6-foot-9 big front and his career at the Suns didn't get off to a smooth start. In the past two years, he averaged two and a half points per game as a substitute. His career has not gone well so far, but that's how the NBA works.

Imagine if the Suns picked Halliburton, he would have learned a lot from Paul, one of the greatest passers in history, and hopefully become an extraordinary player, perhaps even better than he is now.

So what I'm saying about the Suns is D

The San Antonio Spurs picked Devin Vassell from Florida State at the 11th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft as a 6-foot-5 guard who averaged 12 points and 5 rebounds that year. After joining the Spurs, his game level has improved a lot. Vassel's scoring, rebounding and assists improved for each year.

But if Halliburton was chosen, I believe he would make the Spurs better. I mean, Halliburton is a passer guard. He can keep players around him. He has outstanding leadership skills.

But I can understand the Spurs' choice, Vassel is still an excellent all-round player. So my evaluation of the Spurs is that D

Halliburton is likely to be becoming a player at the league's future screen level, I mean, you'll see some success stories, some failure stories, and some hypothetical stories. But when Halliburton was selected at the 12th pick, the Kings knew they had found a great player, but they didn't stick to it.

But this tells you that sometimes you need to follow your intuition. I wonder if any of these general managers want to go back to the draft that year and actually pick Halliburton
