Pacers All-Star Tyrese Haliburton has quickly made a name for himself in four NBA seasons, an impressive rise that, evidently, still has former Warriors general manager Bob Myers wondering if he made the right decision.
Back in 2020, Myers was part of the collective that drafted now-Pistons center James Wiseman No. 2 overall over the likes of Haliburton and Hornets star LaMelo Ball. Fast forward four years later, and Myers, now an analyst on ESPN’s NBA Countdown, sounds as though passing on the Indiana guard was a move that continues to haunt him to this day.
Myers strongly indicated as much on Thursday ahead of the Pacers-Bucks in-season tournament semifinal matchup in Las Vegas, when the former GM spoke highly of Haliburton’s game and leadership while reflecting on his workout with Golden State.
