Agree but not a fair comparison. Tinsley had more experience when he got to Ames. Glad I'll never have a "Shoot Baskets, Not Tyrese" t shirt like I did Tinsley
Tinsley was a JUCO guy. Trying to find an image of the shirt but failing. In Pacers colers it said "Shoot baskets, not Jamaal Tinsley" I found it on here when I was 17 or so. He was involved in at least 2 shootings during his NBA career.
After being mostly out of the league from 09 to 11 he came back and played three more years for Utah. Guys don't get opportunities like that in their mid 30s without some pretty rare skills.

I have never seen Tinsley making clutch shot like this off dribble in the NBA. He was a fancier dribbler than Haliburton but he didn’t have better handle than Haliburton. Could Tinsley creat shot off the dribble like Haliburton did against NBA players?

That wasn't the original ask. It was something like does or did ISU have someone that could handle the ball better.
I'm not sure what "fancy" dribbling is but you must have missed Tinsley absolutely undressing guys guarding him both on the perimeter and powering a guy down in traffic
That's quite the story. Never followed him much when he went pro it was a different stage of my life busy with other things.
He's the 1st ISU player I followed into the pros, got me into the NBA and gave my dad some examples of lessons to give.
I saw him at Miami restaurant eating outside one of the years he was out of nba before his jazz comeback years. I yelled “hey Jamaal go cyclones” and got a little nod and wave.
Tyrese got PAID....More!!!
His selection to the All NBA 3rd Team increased his contract!
Hope Jamie has his number on speed dial for the Tyrese Haliburton Hilton Coliseum Renovation Project.

Tyrese Haliburton makes third-team All-NBA which means a $40+million raise over five years
Tyrese Haliburton was named third-team All-NBA, which means he can be paid 30% of the salary cap each year on his five-year contract extension.

Mid season the question was more "is he first or second team", but he really was hampered by some injuries and I think third team is fair.
If these past couple games are sign that his health is back and he can somehow beat Boston the third team will be back to looking a little suspect though as if second half of regular season is weighted more than first half and deep playoffs.
When I see this it just blows my mind. I knew Tyrese was special after his first game in college.
I saw the court vision, freakish length and crazy Magic Johnson/Steve Nash like passing ability instantly at ISU. I was shocked he was player of the year in Wisconsin, looked that much like an NBA prospect and wasn't a top 50 recruit. Enough so that I totally ignore basketball scouting since then because if they can't identify champion winning point guard with a nearly 7 foot wing span they're pretty worthless.
I am legitimately surprised how he has become this elite on the planet long range 3 point shooter with the same shot we saw back then. That half court shot he hit at the end of the first half Tuesday was just the play he had in mind to take the clock down to zero, not some desperation shot.
Not to make this a Prohm thread or to ignore his obvious short comings but that dude knows point guards.
