47. Tyrese Haliburton

Tyrese Haliburton was traded from Sacramento to Indiana in a deal that can best be described as both teams in rebuilding mode trying to see what might fit.  Sacramento made the playoffs first after the deal, but the Pacers landed a player who became an All-Star.

In Indiana, Haliburton had the opportunity to become more of a focal point, and he finished the 2021-22 season with the Pacers with 17.5 Points per Game over 26 contests.  Last year, Haliburton started the year on fire, and he went to his first All-Star Game.  Now the top performer o his squad, Haliburton, who was injured late in the year but had the best season of his life with a double-double average of 10.1 Assists and 20.7 Points.

As Haliburton is still well under 25, we could see multiple All-Stars in his future.
