Draymond Green Breaks Down Why Tyrese Haliburton Is a Rising Star

On the latest episode of The Draymond Green Show, Draymond Green and former NBA guard Baron Davis explored the growing buzz around Tyrese Haliburton's remarkable rise. Davis posed an insightful question about why defenders seem hesitant to apply pressure on Haliburton. Green responded with conviction, stating, “I’m telling you, the reason they don’t pressure him is that Hali’s handle is incredibly underrated and crafty. The defenders know that when they apply pressure, he’ll BAP BAP.”To illustrate, Green mimicked a juke move and recalled a moment where Haliburton effortlessly outmaneuvered Mikal Bridges—widely regarded as one of the league’s best perimeter defenders. Haliburton consistently adapts to defensive pressure with surgical precision, making him a matchup nightmare. His standout performance in Tuesday’s Game 4 against the Knicks elevated his profile even further, cementing his status as a playoff force.
