Tyrese Haliburton was a revelation last season, averaging 24.4 PPG, a league-leading 12.8 APG, to go with 4.2 RPG, 3.5 3PG, 1.0 SPG and 0.7 BPG through his first 31 games before a hamstring injury sidelined him for several weeks and later limited his output for the rest of the season. After having a summer to recover, the expectation was that Haliburton would return to that level this season with a new frontcourt All-Star teammate as a running mate in Pascal Siakam.
Instead, through the first week of the season, Haliburton was more afterthought than MVP candidate, with averages of 12.3 PPG, 3.7 APG, 3.3 RPG and 1.7 3PG. He was even held scoreless in one of the games! So it is time to panic, or time to show some patience?
Patience is warranted because Haliburton is too good a player to stay limited for long, as long as he's healthy. He's shown signs of improvement already and has a talented team around him.
