Player Updates: Tyrese Haliburton showed that he was better than Jalen Brunson during the Knicks-Pacers 2024-25 playoff matchup. Tom Thibodeau preferred to have Haliburton defended by Mikal Bridges, while Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith took turns defending Brunson. For Brunson to be stronger than Haliburton, the Knicks would have had to win this series because it’s harder for Nembhard and Nesmith to defend Brunson than it is for the strong individual defenders on the Knicks to defend Haliburton. For Haliburton to play as well as he did offensively against such stringent defense is a testament to how good of a player Haliburton is. 6/5/2025
Player Overview: Tyrese Haliburton was traded from the Sacramento Kings to the Indiana Pacers during the 2021-22 season. Once in Indiana, he blossomed into one of the best point guards in the NBA. Though listed as a swingman, I prefer Haliburton as a point guard.
Notes:
- It surprised me when Tyrese Haliburton was traded to the Indiana Pacers for Domantas Sabonis because he was already a budding star. But there are more reasons why this trade was made. Domantas Sabonis’s father, Arvydas Sabonis, was an NBA legend in his prime.
- Tyrese Haliburton averaged 20 and 10 two seasons in a row (2022-23 and 2023-24).
- Similar players to Tyrese Haliburton include Devin Harris.
Fun Facts
- He played on the Team USA men’s basketball team during the 2024 Paris Olympics but didn’t get much court time due to injury.

The Pacers have a lot of potential this season but I fear they will blow it, mostly because I don’t think they will continue to develop Bennedict Mathurin properly. We saw Mathurin buried on the bench in 2023-24 and being played at small forward, which is not his natural position. Mathurin is a shooting guard, and he has the potential to be one of the best shooting guards in the NBA. If the Pacers don’t make proper use of him this year, they not only may ruin his career but their own chances at being contenders.
