Popular media personality Pat McAfee has made a bold statement regarding Indiana Pacers star guard Turese Haliburton.
Point guard Tyrese Haliburton was easily the Indiana Pacers' star player last season, leading the team to the Easter Conference finals while averaging 20.1 points, a league-leading 10.9 assists, 3.9 total rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game.
In the first 16 games, Haliburton only averaged 15.5 points, 8.5 assists, 3.4 total rebounds, and 1.2 steals. While this is still enough to cement him as a starter, it's far off of the output that is expected of the Olympic gold medalist.Haliburton's return to form was most evident in Indiana's recent games against the New Orleans Pelicans and the Portland Trail Blazers.
This was enough for popular sports personality and Indiana legend Pat McAfee to declare that Haliburton was officially back after the Pacers' win over the Trail Blazers.Other than a particularly brutal game against the Memphis Grizzlies where he only recorded eight points and seven assists, Haliburton has recently been performing as the point guard we all know and love.
