The narrative is starting to shift on poor Ty tho. If they lose this series in 5 or less people will definitely cool off on him more

Hali was a lot better before the injury
He is also a better passer and shooter than Paolo rn
I think Paolo has more potential but when healthy, he is the better player rn

paolo is better simple as that

Context is key with any statistical analysis
You still need to understand the details of the game with advanced stats, all an inefficient player tells us is there’s something wrong in the mix, what’s wrong might have nothing to do with that player
Paolo has the iso ability to run/initiate your offense at a shade under seven foot, but he doesn’t have shooters to maximize his ability so it looks inefficient at times
His reads and 1:1 ability is more important than the end result at this point in the build (ability to beat good initial defenders in iso, making the right reads even if teammates aren’t taking or making shots)
At this stage the data is basically pointing out he needs shooters around him to maximize his skillset

Everybody is shitting on Hali right now though? Probably one of the most viewed Hali posts all year is about his terrible game 1

So many people just hear that Paolo is inefficient and then decide to run with that narrative. We aren’t on national TV so they have no way of watching and seeing him play.

Halliburton should demand a trade to play with his cousin and really make Orlando the family friendly team.

Do people actually see Banchero like this??? I am a neutral fan and am not aware of a lot of unpopular narratives, but I’ve always thought that Paolo is extremely well received.

Paolo did have 9 TOs, but I thought he had a pretty good game overall. A lot of that is our poor spacing and asking a lot of him to basically be our point guard.

I promise you no one is seeing Halliburton’s recent performance and praising him for it lmao
It’s the exact opposite
I pray you escape from this victim mentality and just appreciate two young stars growing 🙏

Can’t have 9 turnovers though. 9 of the 12 turnovers for us. I think game 1 was a lot of nerves, we got them right where we want them

I still don’t think Paolo is better yet. Tyrese coulda had like 15 assists that game if they made some open shots. But damn has Tyrese dropped dramatically from his season start.

I fuckin hate Haliburton, he’s overrated and outspoken garbage.
