I've been calling him a Reggie/Stockton hybrid 2.0 since his rookie season. Given his play style this might be the dude to threaten Stockton's insane AST record and shoot 50/40/90 for years.
We are still quite early in his career and in the season, but he has potential to be really great.
Just has to prove it in the playoffs as well. Also these are stats from 13 games played. Lets see how he holds up after 50-60 games.
I've been watching ball 40 years. Playoffs don't make players, they make legacies. Skills are skills.
I think that Steve Nash is the perfect comparison for him.
Great passer and playmaker, great shooter, extremely efficient and orchestrates both the fastest paced and highest scoring offense in the league.
If Nash was in the league today he'd be encouraged to shoot more threes given his amazing percentages, so he'll basically be as close to a player like Haliburton as anyone could be.
