Tyrese Haliburton is one of the NBA’s rising stars. In a league filled with scorers, Haliburton provides not only dynamic scoring, but an incredible passing ability.Through 29 games this season, Haliburton has 368 totals assist,(thirty more than second place Trae Young who has also played one more game),and 13 assists per game.He leads the league in both categories. Yet, his most impressive ability is to assist without turning the ball over. Haliburton is only turning the ball over 3 times per game. This is significantly better than other top assisting players such as Trae Young or Luka Doncic. Haliburton’s assist to turnover ration is also significantly better. as his is 5:1 compared to Doncic and Young’s 2:1. Haliburton’s low turnovers puts him above other ball dominant players as he can limit possessions for his opponents and maximize his own teams efficiency with the ball. The NBA knows that Haliburton is a top point guard in the league, and the box score does nothing but support that statement.
