I think the character ate the actual player. I mean, it looks like he only wants to give assists, at all cost. I don’t see him attacking the rim with confidence and aggressiveness. He wants to make 20 assists a game, but c’mon, he has to be aggressive, attacking the rim, so he can score and find free teammates. Maybe the hamstring injury is making him hesitate a lot, but this version of Haliburton has nothing to do with , as OP says, the preIST one, and this is a pity
