"He's sneaky athletic. He has length to him, and his vision is incredible," Lakers coach Darvin Ham said when asked about Haliburton on Friday ahead of the championship game. "I mean, the things he's able to do with the basketball, the way he sets up his teammates, looks off defenders, the way he pushes the pace in transition, he's constantly in attack mode..."
"He makes life easy for you as a teammate playing alongside of him," said Lakers guard Austin Reaves, who teamed with Haliburton on Team USA at the FIBA World Cup in the Philippines over the summer. "It's just the pace that he plays with and the willingness to be that unselfish. He makes the right play the majority of the time. He doesn't really turn the ball over. He instills confidence in you. "Anytime he swings the ball and you're open, he wants you to shoot it. It's not more so shoot it to give me an assist; it's he wants you to be successful, as well."
